LuaMinify
A Lua source code minifier that strips comments, whitespace, and semantically renames local variables for minimal output.
What is LuaMinify?
LuaMinify is a Lua source code minifier that reduces code size by stripping comments, whitespace, and semantically renaming local variables. It includes a Lua lexer, parser, and static analysis tools to ensure correctness while minimizing output. The project solves the problem of deploying compact, performance-optimized Lua scripts in production environments.
Lua developers, particularly those working on Roblox or other embedded Lua environments, who need to reduce script size for performance or deployment constraints.
Developers choose LuaMinify for its semantic variable renaming and AST-based accuracy, which ensures minified code remains functionally identical to the original. It provides reliable minification with support for complex Lua syntax like embedded strings.
