}FAQ
What does minify do?
It strips out all the spaces and line breaks that are only there for readability, producing the smallest valid version of the same JSON. Useful for shrinking payloads before sending them over the wire.
Does it change my data?
No. Only whitespace is removed. The keys, values, and structure are identical, and the result is exact and reversible by prettifying it again.
Does it reorder or drop anything?
No. Key order is preserved and nothing is dropped. It does not sort keys or remove duplicate-looking values.
It also reports sizes, why?
The result includes the original and minified character counts so you can see how much you saved at a glance.
What if the JSON is invalid?
It returns confidence 0 with a reason instead of an error. Minify only runs once the input parses as valid JSON.
