NAME

       JavaScript::Engine - Pure-Perl ECMAScript (JavaScript) engine

DESCRIPTION

       This is just a pointer to JE, a pure-Perl JS engine.

       "JE" stands for JavaScript::Engine. I named it this, following the example of PPI, to avoid long class names like
       JavaScript::Engine::Object::Error::ReferenceError, which I thought would be a little ridiculous, and also time-consuming to type.

       I included this module in the JE distribution so that one might be able to find JE when typing "i /javascript/" in the CPAN shell or when
       looking under modules/by-module/JavaScript/ on the CPAN.

NAME

       JavaScript::Minifier - Perl extension for minifying JavaScript code

SYNOPSIS

       To minify a JavaScript file and have the output written directly to another file

	 use JavaScript::Minifier qw(minify);
	 open(INFILE, 'myScript.js') or die;
	 open(OUTFILE, '>myScript-min.js') or die;
	 minify(input => *INFILE, outfile => *OUTFILE);
	 close(INFILE);
	 close(OUTFILE);

       To minify a JavaScript string literal. Note that by omitting the outfile parameter a the minified code is returned as a string.

	 my minifiedJavaScript = minify(input => 'var x = 2;');

       To include a copyright comment at the top of the minified code.

	 minify(input => 'var x = 2;', copyright => 'BSD License');

       To treat ';;;' as '//' so that debugging code can be removed. This is a common JavaScript convention for minification.

	 minify(input => 'var x = 2;', stripDebug => 1);

       The "input" parameter is manditory. The "output", "copyright", and "stripDebug" parameters are optional and can be used in any combination.

DESCRIPTION

       This module removes unnecessary whitespace from JavaScript code. The primary requirement developing this module is to not break working
       code: if working JavaScript is in input then working JavaScript is output. It is ok if the input has missing semi-colons, snips like '++ +'
       or '12 .toString()', for example. Internet Explorer conditional comments are copied to the output but the code inside these comments will
       not be minified.

       The ECMAScript specifications allow for many different whitespace characters: space, horizontal tab, vertical tab, new line, carriage
       return, form feed, and paragraph separator. This module understands all of these as whitespace except for vertical tab and paragraph
       separator. These two types of whitespace are not minimized.

       For static JavaScript files, it is recommended that you minify during the build stage of web deployment. If you minify on-the-fly then it
       might be a good idea to cache the minified file. Minifying static files on-the-fly repeatedly is wasteful.

   EXPORT
       None by default.

       Exportable on demand: minifiy()
