[[Visual Studio Code]] comes with minification support for several languages. It can readily browse the Visual Studio Marketplace to download and install additional minifiers.

JavaScript optimizers which can minify and generate source maps include UglifyJS and [[Google Closure Tools|Google Closure Compiler]]. In addition, certain online tools, such as Microsoft Ajax Minifier,<ref>[https://github.com/Microsoft/ajaxmin Microsoft Ajax Minifier].

===Web development===

Components and libraries for [[Web application]]s and websites have been developed to optimize file requests and reduce page load times by shrinking the size of various files.

JavaScript and [[Cascading Style Sheet]] (CSS) resources may be minified, preserving their behavior while considerably reducing their file size. Libraries available online are capable of minification and optimization to varying degrees. Some libraries also merge multiple script files into a single file for client download. JavaScript source maps can make code readable and debuggable even after it has been combined and minified.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-02-22 |title=Online JSON Minifier Web App |url=httpshttp://jsonminifywww.html5rocks.com |url-status=live |archive-url=https:/en/web.archive.orgtutorials/webdevelopertools/20221206145909/https://jsonminify.comsourcemaps/|title |archive-date=2022 Introduction to JavaScript Source Maps -12-06 |website=JSONHTML5 MinifyRocks}}</ref>
