Text::Minify::XS - Remove indentation and trailing whitespace from multi-line text
version v0.7.4
use Text::Minify::XS qw/ minify /; my $out = minify( $in );
This is a simple and fast text minifier that quickly removes extra whitespace from multi-line text.
None by default.
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,
collapses 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.
This is an alias for "minify". It was added in v0.5.3.
This is a version of "minify" that works on ASCII text. It was added in v0.5.3.
If you are only processing 8-bit text, then it should be faster. (Rudimentary benchmarks show it is twice as fast as "minify".)
Unlike the "minify", if the input string has the UTF-8 flag set, the resulting string will not. You should ensure the string is properly encoded.
Since v0.7.0, this module requires Perl v5.14 or later.
Future releases may only support Perl versions released in the last ten years.
If you need this module on Perl v5.9.3, please use one of the v0.6.x versions of this module. Significant bug or security fixes may be backported to those versions.
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.
There are many string trimming and specialised whitespace/comment-removal modules on CPAN. It is not practical to include such a list.
The development version is on github at https://github.com/robrwo/Text-Minify-XS and may be cloned from git://github.com/robrwo/Text-Minify-XS.git
