`js
import { minifyFiles, minifyString } from "minijson"

// minify the files in-place and in parallel
await minifyFiles(["file1.json", "file2.json"])

// supports comments by passing true as the second argument
await minifyFiles(["file1_with_comment.json", "file2_with_comment.json"], true)

// minify the given string
const minifiedString = minifyString({"some_json": "here"})

// supports comments by passing true as the second argument
const minifiedString2 = minifyString({"some_json": "here"}//comment, true)
`

Note: in the Nodejs API, prefer minifyFiles over other functions, as it minifies the files in parallel with the least amount of resources.

`js
import minijson: minifyString, minifyFiles;

// minify the given string
const minifiedString = minifyString({"some_json": "here"});

// supports comments by passing true as the second argument
const minifiedString2 = minifyString({"some_json": "here"}//comment, true);

// minify the files in-place and in parallel
minifyFiles(["file1.json", "file2.json"]);

// supports comments by passing true as the second argument
minifyFiles(["file1.json", "file2.json"], true);

You would need to install the ldc compiler for the D programming language

`
curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s ldc
`

After installation, it will print a message about activating it. Something like source activate_ldc.sh.

After running the activation command, clone the repository:

`
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/aminya/minijson
cd minijson
`

Then build with:

`
pnpm install
pnpm build.node
``
