Use pretty-printing when reading, debugging, or reviewing JSON data. Use minification when sending JSON over a network or embedding it in code — removing whitespace can reduce payload size by 20–40% for typical API responses.
Common JSON syntax errors
- Trailing commas after the last property or element (not allowed in standard JSON)
- Single quotes instead of double quotes for strings and keys
- Comments (not part of JSON standard)
- Unquoted property keys
