This procedure entails removing all unnecessary white space characters, newline characters, comments, and so on. The functionality of the source code is unaffected by code minification. It does, however, improve load time (and the performance of your web app) because you reduce the size of the file for download.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In this post, we&#8217;ll look at five excellent JavaScript code minification tools that will make your scripts lighter and improve the performance of your code, and you can compare these with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/javascript-charting-comparison\/\">Data Visualization tool<\/a> to help you choose the best charting library for your data visualization.<\/p>\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_71 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\"><p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<\/div><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/5-excellent-javascript-minification-tools-to-improve-your-code-performance\/#YUI_Compressor\" title=\"YUI Compressor\">YUI Compressor<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/5-excellent-javascript-minification-tools-to-improve-your-code-performance\/#Google_Closure_Compiler\" title=\"Google Closure Compiler\">Google Closure Compiler<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/5-excellent-javascript-minification-tools-to-improve-your-code-performance\/#JSMin\" title=\"JSMin\">JSMin<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/5-excellent-javascript-minification-tools-to-improve-your-code-performance\/#Packer\" title=\"Packer\">Packer<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/5-excellent-javascript-minification-tools-to-improve-your-code-performance\/#Dojo_ShrinkSafe\" title=\"Dojo ShrinkSafe\">Dojo ShrinkSafe<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/5-excellent-javascript-minification-tools-to-improve-your-code-performance\/#Bonus_Tool_To_Discover_the_Best_Minification_Tool_for_You\" title=\"Bonus Tool (To Discover the Best Minification Tool for You)\">Bonus Tool (To Discover the Best Minification Tool for You)<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YUI_Compressor\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/yui.github.io\/yuicompressor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YUI Compressor<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13631\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gallery\/blog\/2014\/06\/yui-compressor1.jpg\" alt=\"yui compressor\" width=\"321\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/yui-compressor1.jpg 321w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/yui-compressor1-150x73.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 321px) 100vw, 321px\" \/>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Developed by Yahoo!, YUI Compressor is a command-line tool written in Java that allows you to minify your JavaScript files. It is 100% safe and yields a higher compression ratio than most other tools.\u00a0The YUI Compressor is also able to compress CSS files.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_Closure_Compiler\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/closure\/compiler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Closure Compiler<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13626\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gallery\/blog\/2014\/06\/google-closure.jpg\" alt=\"google-closure\" width=\"550\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/google-closure.jpg 550w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/google-closure-150x56.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Google Closure Compiler is a tool for making JavaScript download and run faster. It is an actual compiler for JavaScript. Instead of compiling from a source language to machine code, it compiles from JavaScript to better JavaScript. It parses your JavaScript, analyzes it, removes dead code, and rewrites and minimizes what&#8217;s left. It also checks syntax, variable references, and types and warns about common JavaScript pitfalls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"JSMin\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/crockford.com\/javascript\/jsmin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">JSMin<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13627 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gallery\/blog\/2014\/06\/jsmin.jpg\" alt=\"jsmin\" width=\"550\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/jsmin.jpg 550w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/jsmin-150x56.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>\r\n\r\nJSMin removes comments and unnecessary whitespace from JavaScript files. It typically reduces file size by half, resulting in faster downloads. It also encourages a more expressive programming style because it eliminates clean, literate self-documentation downloads.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Packer\"><\/span>Packer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13628 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gallery\/blog\/2014\/06\/packer.png\" alt=\"packer\" width=\"872\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/packer.png 872w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/packer-150x79.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 872px) 100vw, 872px\" \/>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Packer\u00a0by Dean Edwards is also a very popular JavaScript compressor, which automatically creates a compressed version of your code.\u00a0 Just paste in the code and hit the \u2018Pack\u2019 button. It can go beyond regular compression and add advanced on-the-fly decompression with a JavaScript runtime piece.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dojo_ShrinkSafe\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shrinksafe.dojotoolkit.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dojo ShrinkSafe<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13625 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gallery\/blog\/2014\/06\/Dojo-shrinksafe.png\" alt=\"Dojo shrinksafe\" width=\"463\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Dojo-shrinksafe.png 463w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Dojo-shrinksafe-150x131.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 463px) 100vw, 463px\" \/>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">ShrinkSafe is another compressor that parses the JavaScript using the\u00a0rhino\u00a0library and crunches local variable names. It can typically reduce the size of your scripts by a third or more, depending on your programming style. Best of all, ShrinkSafe will never change a public variable or API. This means that you can drop the compressed version of your JavaScript into your pages without changing the code that uses it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bonus_Tool_To_Discover_the_Best_Minification_Tool_for_You\"><\/span>Bonus Tool (To Discover the Best Minification Tool for You)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Finding the right tool to compress your JavaScript code can be a bit tough, as in many cases, it depends on your application. To compare the different tools with your JavaScript code without setting up all the tools yourself, you can try the\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">JavaScript CompressorRater<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It shows the aggregated statistics on the general level of compression in four of the tools covered above (namely JSMin, Dojo ShrinkSafe, YUI Compressor, and Packer).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Which is your favorite minification tool?
