How do you use Google Compiler inside a browser, without requesting a service?

Question

Is that possible already? Or is there an alternative for it? This is for an online IDE for a language that compiles to JavaScript. It would be nice if I could use the Closure Compiler as a last optimization step for my generated code, as I've got great results using it so far.

Answer 1

From the closure compiled homepage:

You can use the Closure Compiler as:

• An open source Java application that you can run from the command line.
• A simple web application.
• A RESTful API.

So no, you can't run it in the browser (although you could potentially submit to the RESTful API from a browser, if the same origin policy doesn't get in the way).
