About JSON Minifier — Free Online Tool
JSON Minifier strips the whitespace and newlines out of JSON, leaving the smallest text that carries the same data.
The document is parsed and written back with no indentation, so what comes out is guaranteed to be the same data — this is not a text-level strip that might corrupt a string containing spaces. Key order and values are preserved exactly; only the formatting between them goes. Expect a worthwhile saving on heavily indented data and almost none on a document that was already compact.
Minification runs in the page, so production payloads are never uploaded.
Trimming a response body before shipping it, cutting the size of a bundled config or seed file, preparing JSON for embedding in another file, and reducing what goes over the wire on a slow connection.
Also known as: minify json · compress json payload · json compact · remove json spaces · shrink json code
When to use it
Reduces bandwidth consumption and latency for production REST/GraphQL API payloads.
How it works
Parses JSON object and outputs JSON.stringify(data) with zero indentation.
Bandwidth Savings
How much minifying saves depends entirely on how much whitespace the original had; a file already minified saves nothing.
