history

Project history and usage

Minify is Taco de Wolff's Go-based minifier library and command-line tool for web formats. The GitHub README describes it as a package for HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, JSON, SVG, and XML, with a MIME-type dispatch interface that lets applications add their own minifiers or redirect work to external tools.

Project history

The project grew from a library into a practical CLI used in build pipelines: the command README documents installation from source, Go install, Docker usage, recursive and in-place minification, bundling, MIME/extension handling, and format-specific options such as CSS precision and HTML comment or tag preservation. The public web service at go.tacodewolff.nl/minify exposes the same core formats for interactive use.

How it is used

Its ecosystem niche is Go-native asset minification. It competes with Node-centered tools and single-format minifiers by covering several web asset types in one Go module, using streaming high-performance implementations, and offering bindings outside Go, including JavaScript and .NET bindings noted by the project. Hugo community discussions and issues around Hugo's --minify behavior show the library's use inside static-site generation workflows.
