A .NET library for minifying HTML, XHTML, and XML markup to improve web application performance.
WebMarkupMin is a .NET library that minifies HTML, XHTML, and XML markup to reduce file sizes and improve web application performance. It removes unnecessary whitespace, comments, and redundant code, and can also minify inline CSS and JavaScript. The library supports integration with various ASP.NET frameworks and external minification tools.
.NET developers building web applications with ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, MVC, Web Forms, or Web Pages who need to optimize frontend performance through markup minification.
Developers choose WebMarkupMin for its deep integration with the .NET ecosystem, extensibility through adapter-based external minifiers, and support for minifying JavaScript template engine views, offering a specialized solution not fully covered by generic minifiers.
The Web Markup Minifier (abbreviated WebMarkupMin) - a .NET library that contains a set of markup minifiers. The objective of this project is to improve the performance of web applications by reducing the size of HTML, XHTML and XML code.

Supports pluggable adapters for powerful external minifiers like Microsoft Ajax Minifier, YUI Compressor, and NUglify, allowing advanced optimization beyond basic markup reduction.
Provides dedicated modules for seamless integration with ASP.NET 4.X, ASP.NET Core, MVC, Web Forms, and Web Pages, making it easy to add minification to existing .NET applications.
Minifies views for JavaScript template engines including KnockoutJS, Kendo UI MVVM, and AngularJS 1.X, optimizing dynamic content without breaking template syntax.
Removes extra whitespace, comments, and redundant code from HTML and XHTML, and can minify inline CSS and JavaScript from style and script tags for maximum file size reduction.
Only supports minification for older JavaScript frameworks like AngularJS 1.X, lacking compatibility with modern frameworks such as React, Vue, or Angular 2+, limiting its usefulness in contemporary projects.
Requires installing multiple NuGet packages for different ASP.NET versions and features (e.g., separate modules for Core 1.X, 2.X, 3.1+, 6+, and Latest), which can lead to dependency confusion and setup overhead.
The core library includes only simple JSMin and CSS minifiers; for advanced minification, additional modules must be installed, adding complexity and potential performance trade-offs.
Documentation mentions upgrading from previous versions with a dedicated section for version 2.X, indicating that major updates may introduce breaking changes requiring code adjustments and migration efforts.
