Google Closure Tools
Google Closure Tools was a set of tools built with the goal of helping developers optimize rich web applications with JavaScript. It was developed by Google for use in their web applications such as Gmail, Google Docs and Google Maps. As of Aug 1, 2024 the Closure Library has been sunset, for not "meeting the needs of modern JavaScript development".
The Closure Compiler is a tool that attempts to compress and optimize JavaScript code, at the expense of human readability. Unlike an actual compiler, it does not compile from JavaScript to machine code but rather minifies JavaScript.
The process executes the following steps:
It also checks syntax, variable references, and types and warns about common JavaScript pitfalls.
It supports transpiling modern ECMAScript code to ECMAScript 5 to achieve a wider range of browser compatibility, similar to Babel. This obviated Traceur Compiler, another project that supported transpiling ES6 to ES3.
The Closure compiler also supports type checking via JSDoc type annotations.
The Closure Compiler is available for use through command line tools:
The Closure Compiler Service application provides a form for a user to input a URL pointing to a JavaScript source or enter JavaScript source code in a text box. The website will display the compiled JavaScript on the right side for the user to copy.
