Information about the package, yuicompressor, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The yuicompressor package is designed for, YUI Compressor - The Yahoo JavaScript and CSS Compressor.
Package Name:
yuicompressor
Summary:
YUI Compressor - The Yahoo JavaScript and CSS Compressor
Description:
The YUI Compressor is a JavaScript compressor which, in addition to removing comments and white-spaces, obfuscates local variables using the smallest possible variable name. This obfuscation is safe, even when using constructs such as 'eval' or 'with' (although the compression is not optimal in those cases) Compared to jsmin, the average savings is around 20%. The YUI Compressor is also able to safely compress CSS files. The decision on which compressor is being used is made on the file extension (js or css).
