Smallest possible

Smallest possible is a curated repository whose aim is somewhat playful yet useful: collecting the “smallest possible syntactically valid files” across a large variety of programming, scripting, markup, and binary file types. For example, the repository might include the minimal valid HTML file, minimal valid PDF, minimal valid executable, minimal valid image file, and so on. It serves both as a curiosity and as a utility for developers and testers who might need tiny stub files for testing tooling, parsing, or file-type handling. Because each file targets minimal syntactical correctness, the repository is valuable for edge-case testing (e.g., parsers handling smallest valid inputs). The project is open, community-welcoming (pull requests accepted) and carries a public-domain style waiver by the author. Although specialized, its uniqueness lies in spanning many file types and languages uniformly under the “minimal valid” idea.
