Frequently asked questions

What does minifying JSON do?

It removes all unnecessary whitespace and line breaks, producing the smallest valid JSON with the same data, which is faster to transfer.

Does it change my data?

No. Only formatting is removed. Keys, values and types are preserved, and numbers are normalised by the JSON standard (for example 1.50 becomes 1.5).

What if my JSON is invalid?

You will see the parser's error message so you can fix it. Nothing is minified until the JSON is valid.

About this tool

A JSON minifier that validates your JSON and strips every unnecessary character, then reports how many bytes and what percentage you saved.

It runs entirely in the browser using the native JSON parser, so the output matches what your code produces. For pretty-printing, use the JSON Formatter.
