Does minification change my data?

No, minification removes only whitespace, line breaks, and indentation that parsers ignore anyway. The keys, values, and structure of your JSON stay exactly the same.

When should I minify JSON?

Minify when you need to save bandwidth, embed data in a URL, or move files between services quickly. For reading and debugging, the formatted version is usually clearer.

How much smaller will the file get?

The reduction depends on how much whitespace the original JSON contained. Heavily indented files with many line breaks shrink the most.

Can I get the readable version back?

Yes, run the minified output through the JSON Formatter tool to beautify it again. Formatting is only presentation; the underlying data never changes.
