While JSON parsers generally ignore whitespace outside of strings, excessive or misplaced whitespace *within* strings or around brackets/braces/colons can sometimes cause issues, especially if it interferes with the parser's ability to recognize delimiters. It's best to keep whitespace consistent and minimal.
