When to minify JSON before shipping

Minified JSON is useful for fixtures, environment values, and payload snapshots where every byte matters.

Minify only valid JSON

Run validation or formatting first. If JSON cannot be parsed, minification should stop instead of guessing.

Keep a readable source

Store readable JSON in source control and generate minified copies for transport or embedding when needed.
