About the JSON Minifier

Remove all unnecessary whitespace from JSON to reduce its size.

How to use the JSON Minifier

  1. Paste your JSON or click Load Sample.
  2. Press Minify JSON Now.
  3. Check the Original, Minified and Savings figures, then Copy Minified.

When to use the JSON Minifier

  • Reducing the size of JSON sent over a network.
  • Embedding JSON in a URL, script or configuration on one line.
  • Shrinking stored data.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Minifying a file you still need to edit. Keep a readable copy.
  • Assuming minifying alone is enough for large files. Compression on the server, such as gzip, saves much more.

Tips

  • Minified JSON is faster to send over a network but harder to read. Keep a beautified copy.
