Is there a good JavaScript minifier? [closed]

Question

What JavaScript minifier do you recommend?

Answer 1

JavaScript Minifier gives a good API you can use programatically:

curl -X POST -s --data-urlencode 'input=$(function() { alert("Hello, World!"); });' http://javascript-minifier.com/raw

Or by uploading a file and redirecting to a new file:

curl -X POST -s --data-urlencode '[e-mail]' http://javascript-minifier.com/raw > ready.min.js

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

If you are using PHP you might also want to take a look at minify which can minify and combine JavaScript files. The integration is pretty easy and can be done by defined groups of files or an easy query string. Minified files are also cached to reduce the server load and you can add expire headers through minify.
