I'm saddened to not see Closure listed on there for JS minification. It might be worth mentioning that there are more advanced minification tools.

Also, there doesn't seem to be anything on JSON minification, which is a sizable portion of responses. There are techniques to transpose JSON objects to be easier to gzip compress.

Google Closure is still best in class at DCE and cross-module motion, but it's never caught on with the larger web community, partly because it applied certain constraints to your Js code that weren't always met. This has changed a bit with modern Closure better able to consume npm modules, but AFAIK, the only heavy non-Google user is still ClojureScript.

wouldn't the JSON object have to be pretty big before it affects performance.?
