How much smaller does minified JSON get?

It depends on the indentation of the original. Typically, minifying removes 30-60% of characters from pretty-printed JSON, since all whitespace and newlines are eliminated.

Does minifying change the JSON data?

No. Minifying only removes formatting whitespace. The data values, structure, and types remain identical.
