A high-performance minifier package written in Go supporting HTML5, CSS3, JS, JSON, SVG, and XML, with a CLI tool and bindings for Python, JavaScript, and .NET. It associates mimetypes with minification functions so embedded resources like CSS or JS inside HTML are minified too.

Use cases

• minify html css and js files
• shrink web assets for faster page loads
• compress svg and xml files
• minify json payloads
• build step asset minification for go projects
• fast javascript minification alternative to terser

When to choose

• you need a fast, dependency-light minifier with a CLI or Go API
• you want to minify multiple web formats including HTML, CSS, JS, JSON, SVG, and XML with one tool
• you need to minify embedded resources (CSS/JS inside HTML) in one pass

When to avoid

• you need advanced JS transformations like bundling, tree-shaking, or ES module optimization
• you are in a Node.js build pipeline already using esbuild or terser
• you need image or font minification, which is out of scope
