What is JSON Minification?
JSON minification removes all unnecessary whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines) from JSON data while preserving its validity. This reduces file size for faster data transfer.
Before & After

]
}
After (Minified - 89 bytes):
{"name":"John Doe","age":30,"email":"john@example.com","skills":["JavaScript","Python","SQL"]}
