When to minify JSON
Smaller payloads
Compact JSON is useful when sending data between services or storing sample payloads.
Valid JSON only
The minifier parses your JSON first, so broken input is caught before compact output is created.
Switch anytime
Use Format to make JSON readable again, then Minify when you need a smaller version.
