How do I make a JSON file smaller?
I did the following things to reduce our JSON files from 4GB to <200MB:
- Remove unnecessary data. Even though the number of columns isn’t calculated in Zoho’s limits, having too many columns, especially unnecessary ones, makes files much bigger.
- Determine size per row.
- Splitting into many smaller files.
- Fixing JSON tags.

Is BSON smaller than JSON?
It is not a mandate that the BSON files are always smaller than JSON files, but it surely skips the records which are irrelevant, while in the case of JSON, you need to parse each byte. BSON is a binary encoding JSON document that is used to store documents in collections.
What is JSON compression?
Compressed JSON removes the key:value pair of json’s encoding to store keys and values in seperate parallel arrays: // uncompressed JSON = { data : [ { field1 : ‘data1’, field2 : ‘data2’, field3 : ‘data3’ }, { field1 : ‘data4’, field2 : ‘data5’, field3 : ‘data6’ }… ]
