Node API

import { minifyFiles, minifyString } from "minijson"

// minify the files in-place and in parallel
await minifyFiles(["file1.json", "file2.json"])

// supports comments by passing true as the second argument
await minifyFiles(["file1_with_comment.json", "file2_with_comment.json"], true)

// minify the given string
const minifiedString = minifyString(`{"some_json": "here"}`)

// supports comments by passing true as the second argument
const minifiedString2 = minifyString(`{"some_json": "here"}//comment`, true)

Note: in the Nodejs API, prefer minifyFiles over other functions, as it minifies the files in parallel with the least amount of resources.

D API

import minijson: minifyString, minifyFiles;

// minify the given string
const minifiedString = minifyString(`{"some_json": "here"}`);

// supports comments by passing true as the second argument
const minifiedString2 = minifyString(`{"some_json": "here"}//comment`, true);

// minify the files in-place and in parallel
minifyFiles(["file1.json", "file2.json"]);

// supports comments by passing true as the second argument
minifyFiles(["file1.json", "file2.json"], true);
