Frequently asked questions

Are large numbers preserved?

Only whitespace between tokens changes. Numbers and strings retain their original text, including large integers such as 9007199254740993, exponent notation, and key order.

Can I use comments or trailing commas?

Only standard JSON is supported. Comments, trailing commas, and single-quoted keys produce an error. Duplicate keys are retained; check how your application interprets them.

What does minifying change?

It removes whitespace outside strings. Spaces and escapes within strings stay intact.
