Closure Compiler is a JavaScript optimizing compiler. It parses your JavaScript, analyzes it, removes dead code and rewrites and minimizes what's left. It also checks syntax, variable references, and types, and warns about common JavaScript pitfalls. It is used in many of Google's JavaScript apps, including Gmail, Google Web Search, Google Maps, and Google Docs. This binary checks for style issues such as incorrect or missing JSDoc usage, and missing goog.require() statements. It does not do more advanced checks such as typechecking.

There is a newer version: v20200830

/**
 * Common interface for a transpiler.
 *
 * 
 * There are a number of considerations when implementing this interface.
 * Specifically,
 * 

 * Which compiler and options to use, including language mode and any
 * specific Compiler subclass. This is handled by {@code BaseTranspiler}
 * accepting a {@code CompilerSupplier}.
 * 
Whether or not to generate external or embedded source maps. This
 * is handled by returning a {@link TranspileResult}, which is able to
 * return any combination of embedded or external source map.
 * 
Specification of a {@code sourceURL}, handling of {@code goog.module},
 * or other postprocessing, such as wrapping the script in {@code eval}.
 * This is left to other collaborators.
 * 
Caching. This is handled by a {@code CachingTranspiler} that
 * decorates an existing {@code Transpiler} with caching behavior.
 *
