2# HTML Minifier
3
4This library minifies HTML as you generate or read it. It preserves the content of `<pre>` and `<textarea>` elements and can also preserve `<code>` content. Embedded JavaScript and CSS are also minified by removing comments and whitespace.
5
6HTML is minified by the following rules:
7
8* ASCII control characters (0x00-0x08, 0x0B, 0x0E-0x1F, 0x7F) are always removed.
9* Comments can be optionally removed. (removed by default)
10 Empty comments are kept when needed to keep text from forming a different character reference or tag.
11* Unnecessary whitespace is removed.
12* HTML whitespace (spaces, tabs, line feeds, carriage returns and form feeds) is collapsed to a single space or line feed where applicable.
13* Empty attribute values are collapsed. (e.g `<input readonly="">` => `<input readonly>` )
14* The inner HTML of all elements is minified except for the following elements:
15 * `<pre>` and `<listing>`
16 * `<textarea>`
17 * `<title>` (only whitespace is collapsed)
18 * `<xmp>`, `<iframe>`, `<noembed>` and `<noframes>`
19 * `<svg>` and `<math>` (including their start tags and HTML children)
20 * `<plaintext>` (all content after its start tag is preserved until the end of input)
21 * `<code>` (optionally, minified by default)
22 * `<style>` (preserved if CSS minification is disabled or its `type` is unsupported)
23 * `<script>` (preserved if JavaScript minification is disabled or its `type` is unsupported)
24* Embedded JavaScript and CSS are minified by removing comments and whitespace.
25
26The original (non-minified) HTML doesn't need to be completely generated before using this library because this library doesn't do any deserialization to create DOMs.
27
28`digest` accepts byte slices, including chunks that split a UTF-8 character. Call `finish` after the last chunk. `get_html` returns the current output snapshot and may omit pending content until `finish` succeeds. `into_html` calls `finish` and returns the owned output buffer without copying it. The `minify` convenience function finishes the input automatically.
29
30`finish` reports incomplete tags, comments and special elements. It preserves a trailing literal `<` or `</`. It does not validate the whole document or require every ordinary element to have a closing tag.
31
32Foreign SVG and MathML content is preserved as one region, including comments and embedded code. HTML minification resumes after the region ends. Like browsers, an HTML tag that cannot be in foreign content, such as `<p>` directly in `<svg>`, ends the region. A `plaintext` element consumes all remaining input, including text that looks like an end tag. Preserved content still follows the control-character and line-break rules.

34## Examples
35
36```rust
37use html_minifier::HTMLMinifier;
38
39let mut html_minifier = HTMLMinifier::new();
40
41html_minifier.digest("<!DOCTYPE html> <html ").unwrap();
42html_minifier.digest("lang= en >").unwrap();
43html_minifier.digest("
44<head>
45 <meta name=viewport>
46</head>
47").unwrap();
48html_minifier.digest("
49<body class=' container bg-light '>
50 <input type='text' value='123 456' readonly='' />
51
52 123456
53 <b>big</b> 789
54 ab
55 c
56 中文
57 字
58</body>
59").unwrap();
60html_minifier.digest("</html >").unwrap();
61html_minifier.finish().unwrap();
62
63assert_eq!("<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang=en>
64<head>
65<meta name=viewport>
66</head>
67<body class='container bg-light'>
68<input type='text' value='123 456' readonly/>
69123456
70<b>big</b> 789
71ab
72c
73中文
74字
75</body>
76</html>".as_bytes(), html_minifier.get_html());
77```
78
79```rust
80use html_minifier::HTMLMinifier;
81
82let mut html_minifier = HTMLMinifier::new();
83
84html_minifier.digest("<pre > Hello world! </pre >").unwrap();
85html_minifier.finish().unwrap();
86
87assert_eq!(b"<pre> Hello world! </pre>", html_minifier.get_html());
88```
89
90```rust
91use html_minifier::HTMLMinifier;
92
93let mut html_minifier = HTMLMinifier::new();
94
95html_minifier.digest("<script type=' application/javascript '> alert('Hello!') ; </script>").unwrap();
96html_minifier.finish().unwrap();
97
98assert_eq!("<script type=' application/javascript '>alert('Hello!');</script>".as_bytes(), html_minifier.get_html());
99```

101## Options and Embedded Code
102
103| Setter | Default | Effect |
104| --- | --- | --- |
105| `set_remove_comments` | `true` | Remove HTML comments outside preserved content, except empty comments needed to keep text from forming a different character reference or tag. |
106| `set_minify_code` | `true` | Minify HTML inside `<code>` elements. |
107| `set_minify_js` | `true` | Minify supported JavaScript content. |
108| `set_minify_css` | `true` | Minify supported CSS content. |
109
110Each option has a corresponding `get_` method. `HTMLMinifierHelper` exposes the same options as public fields. Set options before digesting the document. `reset` clears parsing state and output while keeping options and allocated capacity; the helper leaves its external writer unchanged.
111
112JavaScript and CSS can be disabled independently:
113
114```rust
115use html_minifier::HTMLMinifier;
116
117let mut html_minifier = HTMLMinifier::new();
118html_minifier.set_minify_js(false);
119html_minifier.digest("<style> p { color: red; } </style><script> a(); </script>").unwrap();
120
121let html = html_minifier.into_html().unwrap();
122assert_eq!(b"<style>p{color:red;}</style><script> a(); </script>", html.as_slice());
123```
124
125JavaScript minification supports an absent or empty `type`, `application/javascript`, `text/javascript`, and `module`.
126Leading and trailing ASCII whitespace is allowed only around the two JavaScript MIME types.
127CSS minification supports an absent or empty `type` and `text/css` without added whitespace.
128Type matching ignores ASCII case and decodes character references.
129The original attribute value is preserved.
130Other types keep their content unchanged.
131
132Removing a comment or `</>` must not join text into a different character reference or tag.
133For example, `&co<!-- note -->py;` becomes `&co<!---->py;` so its text stays `©` instead of becoming `©`.
134Likewise, `a<<!-- note -->b` becomes `a<<!---->b` so `<b` does not start a tag.
135
136JavaScript and CSS minification only removes comments and whitespace, so the code keeps its meaning. JavaScript line breaks that automatic semicolon insertion (ASI) needs are kept. When the meaning of a slash is unclear, the rest of that script is preserved. Block comments whose text starts with `!` or contains `@lic` (such as `@license`) or `@preserve` are kept. Preserved content still follows the control-character removal rule above.
137
138## Errors
139
140`HTMLMinifierError` is non-exhaustive and includes `IncompleteInput` and `IOError`. Byte input is preserved without requiring each chunk to be valid UTF-8. Debug formatting also supports incomplete or invalid UTF-8.
141
142`IOError` shows the message of the underlying I/O error, and `source()` returns the source of that error. An error can leave partial output; reset the parser and use a fresh output destination before retrying a document.
143
144## Write HTML to a Writer
145
146Use `HTMLMinifierHelper` to supply an output writer. Wrap a file in `BufWriter` to combine small writes.
147
148```rust,no_run
149use html_minifier::HTMLMinifierHelper;
150
151use std::fs::File;
152use std::io::{BufWriter, Read, Write};
153
154let mut input_file = File::open("tests/data/w3schools.com_tryhow_css_example_website.htm").unwrap();
155let output_file = File::create("index.min.html").unwrap();
156let mut output = BufWriter::new(output_file);
157
158let mut buffer = [0u8; 256];
159
160let mut html_minifier_helper = HTMLMinifierHelper::new();
161
162loop {
163 let c = input_file.read(&mut buffer).unwrap();
164
165 if c == 0 {
166 break;
167 }
168
169 html_minifier_helper.digest(&buffer[..c], &mut output).unwrap();
170}
171
172html_minifier_helper.finish(&mut output).unwrap();
173output.flush().unwrap();
174```
