For instance, I have a library and I would like to protect the source code to being viewed. The first method that comes to mind is to create public wrappers for private func
I don't know what google does, but you could do something like this (not tested! just an idea):
function declarations:
var myApp = {
foo: function { /**/ },
bar: function { /**/ }
};
and then, in another place, an anonymous function writes foo() and bar():
(function(a) {
a['\u0066\u006F\u006F'] = function(){
// here code for foo
};
a['\u0062\u0061\u0072'] = function(){
// here code for bar
};
})(myApp);
You can pack or minify to obfuscate even more.
