Create compact YAML output using the formatter's minify action and review the result locally.

Minifying collapses everything to flow style. Comments cannot exist in flow style, so they are dropped — format instead if you need them kept.
Reduce layout whitespace when a compact representation is useful for transport or inspection. Compact YAML often uses flow-style collections, which can be harder to read manually. Keep a readable source copy for maintenance.
Paste a mapping with a short list and use Minify to inspect its compact representation.
Minification is not compression or encryption, and exact byte savings depend on the document. Confirm that the destination accepts the generated YAML style.
Paste YAML and review its parsing status. Choose formatting options or the compact-output action. Inspect the result and copy or download it.
