JSON::Minify

JSON.minify implementation - rationale is here: https://github.com/getify/JSON.minify

Though comments are not officially part of the JSON standard, this post from Douglas Crockford back in late 2005 helps explain the motivation behind this project.

"A JSON encoder MUST NOT output comments. A JSON decoder MAY accept and ignore comments."
