I am using javascript graphic libraries for my project. In all libraries I am finding the files like
abc.js - abc.min.js
xyz.js - xyz.min.js
What does .min indicate? Is it some sort of syntax of making javascript libraries?

Basically all the long variable names and function names are converted into shorter ones during the process of minifying. As consequence it would reduce the size of that particular file, so it would less the loading speed of the website.
On the other hand normal .js is the one which is used until the site being launched, meaning while the site in the mode of development/testing.
