Minify JSON for transport, fixtures or storage while validating that the input is syntactically correct.

How this tool works

Valid JSON is parsed and serialized with zero indentation, removing insignificant spaces and line breaks while preserving data values.

Example

A multi-line configuration object can be reduced to one compact JSON string without changing keys, arrays, numbers or strings.

Common questions

Does minifying JSON change the data?

No. It removes formatting whitespace outside string values after parsing the JSON.

Why does invalid JSON return no minified output?

Minification only proceeds after successful parsing so malformed data is not transformed into something misleading.
