Is there any tools for automatic removal of comments from JavaScript code?

I'd like to have comments in my code, but I want them to be removed before deploying. Yes, it's not hard to write such a thing, but if it already exists… And how about comments in ASP pages?

YUI Compressor in addition to removing comments and white-spaces, obfuscates local variables using the smallest possible variable name...

Besides the utility, there is the YUI Compressor Library for .NET, this library allows you to programmatically compress JavaScript and CSS, or use it automatically with MsBuild...

Are you going to compress at runtime? I'd use packer and compress your javascript through a generic handler.

Sounds like you are looking for a JSMin tool or similar.

There are many tools which you can purchase, but there are also some online tools you can use:
