# JSON minify

## Description

This operation compresses JSON data by removing unnecessary whitespace, line breaks, and formatting while retaining the full structure and functionality of the JSON. It is handy for reducing the size of JSON files or strings when storage or transfer efficiency is required.

***

## Data types

These are the input/output expected data types for this operation:

### Input data

![](https://965373739-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FkxZeV4nlXcIAjMGZxzLI%2Fuploads%2FExtApHuiMxiHgaNWDLb2%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=5f4e1372-a2db-4d7e-b81b-976507cac896) - Strings representing the JSON data you want to optimize.

### Output data

***

## Example

Suppose you want to **minify** the **JSON data** in your input strings. To do it:

1. In your Pipeline, open the required [Action](https://docs.onum.com/the-workspace/pipelines/actions) configuration and select the input **Field**.
2. In the **Operation** field, choose **Json Minify**.
3. Give your **Output field** a name and click **Save**. Your JSON data will be optimized and formatted properly. 

For example, the following JSON:

```json
{
    "name": "John Doe",
    "age": 30,
    "isActive": true,
    "address": {
        "city": "New York",
        "zip": "10001"
    }
}

```

will be formatted like this:

```json
{"name":"John Doe","age":30,"isActive":true,"address":{"city":"New York","zip":"10001"}}
```

{% hint style="info" %}
You can try out operations with specific values using the **Input** field above the operation. You can enter the value in the example above and check the result in the **Output** field.
{% endhint %}
