13JSON.minify() minifies blocks of JSON-like content into valid JSON by removing all
14whitespace *and* comments.
15
16JSON parsers (like JavaScript's JSON.parse() parser) generally don't consider JSON
17with comments to be valid and parseable. So, the intended usage is to minify
18development-friendly JSON (with comments) to valid JSON before parsing, such as:
19
20JSON.parse(JSON.minify(str));
21
22Now you can maintain development-friendly JSON documents, but minify them before
23parsing or before transmitting them over-the-wire.
24
25Though comments are not officially part of the JSON standard, this post from
26Douglas Crockford back in late 2005 helps explain the motivation behind this project.

29
30"A JSON encoder MUST NOT output comments. A JSON decoder MAY accept and ignore comments."
31
32Basically, comments are not in the JSON *generation* standard, but that doesn't mean
33that a parser can't be taught to ignore them. Which is exactly what JSON.minify()
34is for.
35
36The first implementation of JSON.minify() is in JavaScript, but the intent is to
37port the implementation to as many other environments as possible/practical.
38
39NOTE: As transmitting bloated (ie, with comments/whitespace) JSON would be wasteful
40and silly, this JSON.minify() is intended for use in server-side processing
41environments where you can strip comments/whitespace from JSON before parsing
42a JSON document, or before transmitting such over-the-wire from server to browser.
