Data-JavaScript-Compactor
=========================

This module provides methods to compact javascript source down to just
what is needed. It can remove all comments, put everything on one line
(semi-)safely, and remove extra whitespace.

SYNOPSIS
        use Data::JavaScript::Compactor;
        my $compacted = Data::JavaScript::Compactor->compact( $javascript )
           or die $Data::JavaScript::Compactor::err_msg;

       # OR, to just do a few steps #

        my $c = Data::JavaScript::Compactor->new();
        $c->data( $javascript );
        $c->replace_listeral_strings();
        $c->replace_white_space();
        my $new = $c->data();


INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   make test
   make install


BUGS

There are a few bugs, which may rear their head in some minor situations.

Statements not terminated by semi-colon.
    Javascript statement that are NOT terminated by a semi-colon (";")
    may break once compacted, as they will be put on the same line as
    the following statement. In many cases, this wonâbe a problem,
    but it could cause an issue. Ex.

        i = 5.4
        j = 42

    The above would become "i=5.4 j=42", and would generate an error
    along the lines of "expected â before statement".

Ambiguous operator precidence
    Operator precidence may get screwed up in ambiguous statements. Eg.
    "x = y + ++b;" will be compacted into "x=y+++b;", which means something
    different.
