History for this tool
The most recent data you entered in this tool, stored only in this browser.
Save what you type here, in this browser? Your work would go into this browser's local storage, so a refresh or a trip to another tool does not wipe it. You also get a short list of previous entries under the form, each one restorable with a click. Nothing is ever uploaded, and there is no account.
Being straight about the trade-off: anything kept there can be read by anyone who can use this browser profile, and by any script that later runs on this site. A tool page can hold a private key, a password or a signed token. Saving is convenient; it is not private.

About this tool
Strip the whitespace out of a JSON document while keeping it valid, so it takes fewer bytes over the wire. It parses first and re-serialises, so a malformed document is rejected rather than mangled.Questions
- How much smaller does it get?
- It depends on how much spacing the original contains. A one-line document may barely change. If your server already compresses responses, removing spaces may save much less on the actual download than the text boxes suggest.
