[Bug]: Error Minimizing JSON File

[cemalgnlts]

What happened?

I tried to minimize this JSON file:

{
  "match": "(?<![_$[:alnum:]])(?:(?<=\\.\\.\\.)|(?<!\\.))(catch|finally|throw|try)(?![_$[:alnum:]])(?:(?=\\.\\.\\.)|(?!\\.))"
}

The error I received:
Error: Parse Error: <![$[:alnum:]])(?:(?<=\.\.\.)|(?<!\.))(catch|finally|throw|try)(?![$[:alnum:]])(?:(?=\.\.\.)|(?!\.))" }

You can go to https://terser.org/html-minifier-terser/ and paste the JSON content and examine it.

It's called html-minifier for a reason.

Try wrapping it in <script> like you can see in the screenshot:

To only minimize pure json, there are other tools that you can use. For example jq. https://remarkablemark.org/blog/2021/09/30/jq-minify-json/
