Text::Minify::XS - Simple text minification

# VERSION

version v0.5.1

# SYNOPSIS

```perl
use Text::Minify::XS qw/ minify /;

my $out = minify( $in );
```

# EXPORTS

None by default.

## minify

```perl
my $out = minify( $in );
```

This is a quick-and-dirty text minifier that removes whitespace in a
single pass.

It does the following:

- removes leading whitespace (indentation),
- removes trailing whitespace,
- removes multiple newlines,
- and changes carriage returns to newlines.

It does not recognise any form of markup, comments or text quoting.
Nor does it remove extra whitespace in the middle of the line.

# KNOWN ISSUES

## Malformed UTF-8

Malformed UTF-8 characters may be be mangled or omitted from the
output.  In extreme cases it may throw an exception in order to avoid
memory overflows. You should ensure that the input string is properly
encoded as UTF-8.
