-Description: JavaScript parser/compressor/beautifier
- This package implements a general-purpose JavaScript
- parser/compressor/beautifier toolkit.
+Description: JavaScript parser, mangler/compressor and beautifier toolkit
+ UglifyJS is a JavaScript compressor/minifier written in JavaScript. It
+ also contains tools that allow one to automate working with JavaScript
+ code:
+ .
+  * A parser which produces an abstract syntax tree (AST) from
+    JavaScript code.
+  * A code generator which outputs JavaScript code from an AST, also
+    providing the option to get a source map.
+  * A compressor (optimizer) — it uses the transformer API to optimize
+    an AST into a smaller one.
+  * A mangler — reduce names of local variables to (usually)
+    single-letters.
+  * A scope analyzer, which is a tool that augments the AST with
+    information about where variables are defined/referenced etc.
+  * A tree walker — a simple API allowing you to do something on every
+    node in the AST.
+  * A tree transformer — another API intended to transform the tree.
+ .
+ All the above utilities and APIs are defined in ~6500 lines of code
+ (except for the effective generation of the source-map, which is
+ handled by the source-map module). Compared to alternatives, UglifyJS
+ is pretty small.
