NAME

JavaScript::Minifier - Perl translation of jsmin.c.

SYNOPSIS

  use JavaScript::Minifier;
  my $obj = new JavaScript::Minifier;
  $obj->minify(*STDIN, *STDOUT);
  
  use JavaScript::Minifier qw(jsmin);
  jsmin(*STDIN, *STDOUT);

DESCRIPTION

This work is a translation from C to Perl of jsmin.c published by Douglas Crockford. Permission is hereby granted to use the Perl version under the same conditions as the jsmin.c on which it is based.

Refer to the JSMin website for further information: http://javascript.crockford.com/jsmin.html

Speed is a bit slower than the python version and the python and perl versions are quite a bit slower than the c version(of course).

Here are test results processing a 71K javascript file. This is one of the largest we have -- most are considerably smaller.
