Converting JSON to a single line removes all unnecessary whitespace, line breaks, and indentation while preserving the data structure. This is useful for compact storage, network transmission, and some APIs that require single-line JSON.
What Gets Removed:
- Line breaks and newlines
- Indentation spaces and tabs
- Extra spaces around delimiters
- Comments (if present)
- Trailing whitespace
Use Cases:
- API request payloads
- Database storage
- Log file entries
- Configuration strings
- URL parameters
- Compact file transmission
Tip: Single-line JSON is functionally identical to formatted JSON but takes up less space. You can always format it back to multi-line using a JSON beautifier.
