How it works

Comments and optional whitespace are removed between tokens while names, punctuation, string values, and block strings remain unchanged. Compact serialization preserves selection and argument structure.

  • GraphQL ignores whitespace outside values.
  • Smaller requests suit persisted queries and mobile clients.

Worked example

Minify a GraphQL query
Remove whitespace from a formatted GraphQL query
Input
											query {
  user(id: 1) {
    name
    email
  }
}
Output
												query{user(id:1){name email}}

When to use this

Persisted query storage, mobile requests, and normalized cache keys minify GraphQL.

Edge cases

  • Whitespace inside a quoted string is data.
  • Block strings retain newline and indentation meaning.
  • A # inside a string is not a comment marker.
