It lets you write human-readable JSON with comments during development, then minify the content before parsing or sending it over the network.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and installs with low friction. However, it has been dormant since late 2017 with no active maintenance, so it is unlikely to receive updates for new Python versions, edge cases, or compatibility issues. The MIT license is permissive and poses no legal barrier to use.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to minify JSON with comment removal and can tolerate dormant maintenance. The package is simple, has no dependencies, and carries no security vulnerabilities. However, verify compatibility with your Python version first, and consider whether the lack of active maintenance poses a risk for your use case\u2014if you need ongoing support or encounter bugs, you may need to fork or find an actively maintained alternative."},"id":"json-minify","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/json-minify","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/json-minify.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/json-minify/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-10-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"JSON_minify","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A simple script to minify valid JSON, containing C/C++ style comments"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":88574,"position":13716,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.0"}
