JSON Minifier: Compress JSON Files Online

Minified JSON loads faster and uses less bandwidth. Essential for production APIs and web applications.

What is JSON Minification?

Minification removes:

  • Whitespace - Spaces, tabs, newlines
  • Formatting - Indentation
  • Comments - If present (non-standard)
  • Before vs After

    Before (formatted):
    json
    

    {

    "name": "John",

    "age": 30,

    "city": "New York"

    }

    After (minified):
    json
    

    {"name":"John","age":30,"city":"New York"}

    Size Reduction

    Typical savings:

  • Small files: 10-20% reduction
  • Large files: 20-40% reduction
  • Highly formatted: 50%+ reduction
  • When to Minify

  • Production APIs - Faster response times
  • Configuration files - Smaller deployment
  • Local storage - Save browser storage space
  • Data transfer - Reduce bandwidth usage
