.. caution::

The YUI Compressor is going through a `deprecation process`_. But don't
worry! See :doc:`/cookbook/assetic/uglifyjs` for an alternative.
The YUI Compressor is `no longer maintained by Yahoo`_ but by an independent
volunteer. Moreover, Yahoo has decided to `stop all new development on YUI`_
and to move to other modern alternatives such as NodeJS.

I always have the same doubt. In their homepage they use at least four variants: "node.js", "Node", "Node.js" and "Node.js®"

Yes, but Node.js is the one used in their trademark policy.

@xabbuh enough said! That's definitely the proper name. I've just fixed it. Thanks for reporting this error.


That's why you are **strongly advised** to avoid using YUI utilities unless
strictly necessary. Read :doc:`/cookbook/assetic/uglifyjs` for a modern and
up-to-date alternative.
