JSON Standard Overview (RFC 8259)
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format defined by RFC 8259. Property names must strictly be enclosed in double quotes ("), supporting strings, numbers, booleans, objects, arrays, and null.
Pretty Print vs. Minification
Pretty-printing inserts indentation and line breaks for human readability during development, whereas Minification eliminates non-essential whitespace to produce a compact JSON payload. The actual bandwidth reduction depends on whitespace density and transport-level compression (Gzip/Brotli).
