"formatter",
"validator",

Limitations
- Valid JSON only — Invalid JSON cannot be minified. Fix syntax errors first using the JSON Validator.
- Whitespace removal only — Minification strips spaces and line breaks. For further compression, use gzip or brotli.
- No data transformation — Keys and values remain unchanged. Only formatting is removed.
- Large file warning — Files over 50MB may slow your browser during processing.
