Hello,

Compressor is a really good tool, I was used to play with Jsmin and a personal regexp-based variable rename tool, and your app is a lo better.

However, it doesn’t seem to support javascript 1.7/1.8 features.

For example, it doesn’t understand theses peaces of code :

[a, b] = toto(); // where toto returns an array

for each(let {a:mya, b:myb, length:length} in toto){
// xxx
}

Really good work, continue! :)

Fantastic work!

Looked around for a lib I could could use to automate compressed JS/CSS in my netbeans builds and this lib has done the trick, see my blog for info on how I used it.

It seems guys from Stunnix have integrated YUI Compressor in their JavaScript Obfuscator and with their product you can minify JavaScript inside HTML files too (with use of YUI Compressor). They even claim compressing with YUI Compressor works with server-side javascript too (ASP scripts can be coded in VBScript and in JavaScript)/

Hi,

unless you also use gzip (with content negotiation or some rewrite voodoo) I don’t see the point of the Compressor. Take a look at the editor from yui 2.5.0

340K editor-beta-debug.js
64K editor-beta-debug.js.gz
332K editor-beta.js
60K editor-beta.js.gz
124K editor-beta-min.js
32K editor-beta-min.js.gz

If you realy want to get everithing out of it -min.js.gz is the way to go, otherwize gzip is better.
