Compress json output

Hardware Arduino Yún
1

Dear Friends,

I request apologizes about my bad English.

I'm working with the rest api of the arduino yun to put and read data from the "arduino side", and I wonder if it would be possible to configure arduino yun webserver to serve the json compressed.

Anybody knows how?

Thank you in advance.

R. Campos.

Do you mean like in using zip/gzip comrepession or by eliminating repeating field descriptions as for example suggested here?

Thank you for your attention.

I will try to explain it with an example. When I output a json object using php on the linino side, I can use the following:

function send_output($output)
{
    if (function_exists('ob_gzhandler')) ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
    else ob_start();
    echo $output;
    ob_end_flush();

}

Then I can send very big Json object to my clients, compressed with gzip (previous to this, you must enable the zlib compresion in php.ini).

And now I wonder if there is a way to compress the output of the json objects generated by the bridge library...

Hope my question is clearer now :sweat_smile:

Best regards
