JSON Crunch

Provides methods for removing whitespace from JSON files to save space.

Installation

You can install JSON Crunch using npm:

npm install json-crunch

or

npm install --save-dev json-crunch

Usage

JSON Crunch has two methods: crunch and crunchToFile

• jsonCrunch.crunch(filename, encoding="utf8") - Crunches contents of specified file and returns it in string form. (Returns a promise)
• jsonCrunch.crunchToFile(sourceFile, destFile, encoding="utf8", stats=false) - Crunches contents of file and writes result to another file. (Returns a promise)
  • If stats is true, an object is returned of the form { input: Number, output: Number, percent: Number, saved: Number };
    • input - size of input file
    • output - size of crunched file
    • percent - percentage of original used for crunched
    • saved - percent smaller crunched is from original

Example

const jc = require('json-crunch');

jc.crunchToFile("./source.json", "./source.min.json", "utf8").then(() = > {
	console.log("Successfully crunched file");
}).catch((e) => {
	console.log("Error occured: " e);
});
