JSON.minify() minifies blocks of JSON-like content into valid JSON by removing all whitespace *and* comments.
The jsonminify npm package is used to minify JSON data by removing all unnecessary whitespace, comments, and other non-essential characters. This can be useful for reducing the size of JSON files and improving the performance of applications that need to process JSON data.
Minify JSON
This feature allows you to minify a JSON string by removing all unnecessary whitespace and comments. The code sample demonstrates how to use the jsonminify package to minify a JSON string.
const jsonminify = require('jsonminify');
const jsonString = '{\n "name": "John",\n "age": 30,\n "city": "New York"\n}';
const minifiedJson = jsonminify(jsonString);
console.log(minifiedJson); // Output: {"name":"John","age":30,"city":"New York"}
jsonminify is a package that removes all whitespace and comments from JSON data, making it more compact. It is similar to jsonminify in functionality but may have different performance characteristics or additional features.
jsonminify is another package that provides similar functionality to jsonminify, allowing you to minify JSON data by removing unnecessary characters. It may offer different options or optimizations compared to jsonminify.

JSON.minify() minifies blocks of JSON-like content into valid JSON by removing all whitespace and comments.
JSON parsers (like JavaScript's JSON.parse() parser) generally don't consider JSON with comments to be valid and parseable. So, the intended usage is to minify development-friendly JSON (with comments) to valid JSON before parsing, such as:
JSON.parse(JSON.minify(str));
Now you can maintain development-friendly JSON documents, but minify them before parsing or before transmitting them over-the-wire.
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.
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/json/message/152
"A JSON encoder MUST NOT output comments. A JSON decoder MAY accept and ignore comments."
Basically, comments are not in the JSON generation standard, but that doesn't mean that a parser can't be taught to ignore them. Which is exactly what JSON.minify() is for.
The first implementation of JSON.minify() is in JavaScript, but the intent is to port the implementation to as many other environments as possible/practical.
NOTE: As transmitting bloated (ie, with comments/whitespace) JSON would be wasteful and silly, this JSON.minify() is intended for use in server-side processing environments where you can strip comments/whitespace from JSON before parsing a JSON document, or before transmitting such over-the-wire from server to browser.
$ npm install jsonminify
$ npm install https://github.com/fkei/JSON.minify.git
var jsonminify = require("jsonminify");
jsonminify('{"key":"value"/** comment **/}')
>> '{"key":"value"}'
JSON.minify('{"key":"value"/** comment **/}')
>> '{"key":"value"}'
$ make test
$ make jshint
