obfuscation as opposed to minification

In the strictest sense minification just removes whitespace while obfuscation renames function and variable names which are hopefully private in scope in JavaScript to more terse names. This makes the code harder to read and hence it will obfuscate the code. An obfuscator will also minify the JS. Just the renaming part of obfuscation could be considered: Uglification
