Pretty vs minified

Pretty: adds indentation & newlines so a human can read it. Use for debugging, configs, or commit-friendly fixtures.

Minified: strips every byte of whitespace. Use over the wire; it's smaller, gzips well, and parses identically.

Both forms are byte-for-byte equivalent to a JSON parser.
