NAME

Text::Minify::XS - remove indentation and trailing whitespace

VERSION

version v0.5.4

SYNOPSIS

  use Text::Minify::XS qw/ minify /;

  my $out = minify( $in );

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple and fast text minifier that removes quickly extra whitespace from multi-line text.

EXPORTS

None by default.

minify

  my $out = minify( $in );

This is a quick-and-dirty text minifier that removes indentation and trailing whitespace from a multi-line text document in a single pass.

It does the following:

• removes leading whitespace (indentation),

• removes trailing whitespace,

• removes multiple newlines,

• and changes carriage returns to newlines.

It does not recognise any form of markup, comments or text quoting. Nor does it remove extra whitespace in the middle of the line.

Because it does not recognise any markup, newlines are not removed since they may be significant.

minify_utf8

This is an alias for "minify". It was added in v0.5.3.

minify_ascii

This is a version of "minify" that works on ASCII text. It was added in v0.5.3.

If you are only processing ASCII text, then it should be faster.

KNOWN ISSUES

Malformed UTF-8

Malformed UTF-8 characters may be be mangled or omitted from the output. In extreme cases it may throw an exception in order to avoid memory overflows. You should ensure that the input string is properly encoded as UTF-8.
