JsonMinify

JSON.minify implementation - rationale is here: https://github.com/getify/JSON.minify

Though comments are not officially part of the JSON standard, this post from Douglas Crockford back in late 2005 helps explain the motivation behind this project.

"A JSON encoder MUST NOT output comments. A JSON decoder MAY accept and ignore comments."

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'json_minify'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install json_minify

Usage

Use with MultiJson,

MultiJson.minify("{ }") #=> "{}"

MultiJson.minify("{ /* comment */ }") #=> "{}"


MultiJson.load("{ }", minify: true) #=> {}

MultiJson.load("{ /* comment */ }", minify: true) #=> {}

Use on the command-line:

$ cat file.json | json_minify

$ json_minify file.json
$ json_minify file.json --pretty-print
