My experience with this kind of minifiers is that they reduce all sorts of 
whitespace and try to rename things to have the least amount of bytes in 
identifiers. That might work OK-ish for websites that receive many hits of 
their JS files, and that have JS files that account for some hundreds of kB.

Qml world is different, because if you are using it properly, you don't use 
that many logic in JS. You should aim for small JS expressions that normally 
are isolated from each other. A traditional JS minifier is unlikely to have any 
impact on Qml files.
