The Closure Compiler is a tool for making JavaScript download and run faster. It is a true 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 an

The purpose of this README is to explain how to build and run the Closure Compiler. The Closure Compiler requires Java 6 or higher. http://www.java.com/ // // Building The Closure Compiler // There are three ways to get a Closure Compiler executable. 1) Use one we built for you. Pre-built Closure binaries can be found at http://code.google.com/p/closure-compiler/downloads/list 2) Check out the source and build it with Apache Ant. First, check out the full source tree of the Closure Compiler. There are instructions on how to do this at the project site. http://code.google.com/p/closure-compiler/source/checkout Apache Ant is a cross-platform build tool. http://ant.apache.org/ At the root of the source tree, there is an Ant file named build.xml. To use it, navigate to the same directory and type the command ant jar This will produce a jar file called "build/compiler.jar". 3) Check out the source and build it with Eclipse. Eclipse is a cross-platform IDE. http://www.eclipse.org/ Under Eclipse's File menu, click "New > Project ..." and create a "Java Project." You will see an options screen. Give the project a name, select "Create project from existing source," and choose the root of the checked-out source tree as the existing directory. Verify that you are using JRE version 6 or higher. Eclipse can use the build.xml file to discover rules. When you navigate to the build.xml file, you will see all the build rules in the "Outline" pane. Run the "jar" rule to build the compiler in build/compiler.jar. // // Running The Closure Compiler // Once you have the jar binary, running the Closure Compiler is straightforward. On the command line, type java -jar compiler.jar This starts the compiler in interactive mode. Type var x = 17 + 25; then hit "Enter", then hit "Ctrl-Z" (on Windows) or "Ctrl-D" (on Mac or Linux) and "Enter" again. The Compiler will respond: var x=42; The Closure Compiler has many options for reading input from a file, writing output to a file, checking your code, and running optimizations. To learn more, type java -jar compiler.jar --help You can read more detailed documentation about the many flags at http://code.google.com/closure/compiler/docs/gettingstarted_app.html // // Compiling Multiple Scripts // If you have multiple scripts, you should compile them all together with one compile command. java -jar compiler.jar --js=in1.js --js=in2.js ... --js_output_file=out.js The Closure Compiler will concatenate the files in the order they're passed at the command line. If you need to compile many, many scripts together, you may start to run into problems with managing dependencies between scripts. You should check out the Closure Library. It contains functions for enforcing dependencies between scripts, and a tool called calcdeps.py that knows how to give scripts to the Closure Compiler in the right order. http://code.google.com/p/closure-library/ // // Licensing // Unless otherwise stated, all source files are licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. ----- Code under: src/com/google/javascript/rhino test/com/google/javascript/rhino URL: http://www.mozilla.org/rhino Version: 1.5R3, with heavy modifications License: Netscape Public License and MPL / GPL dual license Description: A partial copy of Mozilla Rhino. Mozilla Rhino is an implementation of JavaScript for the JVM. The JavaScript parser and the parse tree data structures were extracted and modified significantly for use by Google's JavaScript compiler. Local Modifications: The packages have been renamespaced. All code not relevant to parsing has been removed. A JsDoc parser and static typing system have been added. ----- Code in: lib/rhino Rhino URL: http://www.mozilla.org/rhino Version: Trunk License: Netscape Public License and MPL / GPL dual license Description: Mozilla Rhino is an implementation of JavaScript for the JVM.
