JSJuicer: Slice and Dice those JS files
JSJuicer is a free tool for safely reducing the size of your JavaScript files. Reducing the size and number of the JavaScript files included in a web page will enable it to load faster. It is available as portable C++ code with a BSD-style licence.
Why did Adrian Johnston write another JavaScript obfuscater and minimizer?
For a number or reasons. I wanted something portable I could run on both windows and Linux from the command line. I also wanted something that came with source code that I could understand and maintain, in order to be able to debug any problems I might have with the somewhat scary minimization and obfuscation process. Finally, I was worried by the dire ‘if you forget a semicolon or use an API symbol that isn’t on our list you are toast’ warnings associated with many tools. In the end it was easiest to just extend JSMin to meet these requirements. As the result is substantially different than JSMin, I’m distributing it as a new program.
