JavaScript Minifier

The practise of eliminating all superfluous characters from the source code of interpreted programming languages or markup languages without altering its functionality is known as minification (also minimisation or reduction). 

White space, new line, comments, and occasionally block delimiters are examples of these extraneous characters that are used to make the code easier to comprehend but are not necessary for it to run. 

By minimising the amount of the source code, minification improves the efficiency of its transmission over network, such as the Internet. 

Competitions for recreational code golf seek for extremely minified source code in programmer culture.





The removal of all superfluous characters from the source code of interpreted programming languages or markup languages is known as minification (also known as minimization or minimization). The same interpreter can be used to run both the original and the minified sources.
Obfuscation and minification have different objectives; the former is frequently designed to be undone with a pretty-printer[citation needed] or unminifier. However, in order to accomplish its objectives, minification occasionally employs methods also employed by obfuscation, such as shortening variable names and rearranging the source code. When such approaches are used in minification, the pretty-printer or unminifier can only completely undo the minification process if it is given information on the transformations carried out by such techniques. If such were not provided

Since the minified source can be immediately interpreted without requiring an uncompression step, minification can be separated from the more general idea of data compression:
