Searching for "javascript coompression" with Google resulted in this hit
in the #5 slot.

(Note: For files of any size WORTH compressing, I can't imagine this
being a good idea. Javascript would run too slow for any real-world
purpose. If you are trying to reduce file transfer size, you would be
better to make sure that gzip is enable on your server.

If you are trying to obfuscate strings for some kind of online game,
ROT13 or some other simple cypher may serve you better.

If you are looking for some kind of security, you are not likely to find
it with this approach.)
