{zone-data:operation}
Minifying Css leads to faster load times on the client by reducing the overall size of Css code. This component aims to perform the work of removing comments, extra whitespace, etc while retaining the familiar Zend_Filter interface.

This component can be integrated into other framework components, such as HeadStyle view helper for automatic Css minification.

The component is used like any other Zend_Filter_* component, passing the string to be minified to the filter() method.
