Gzip Content Encoding¶

Compress payloads using the GZIP algorithm (RFC 1952).

Configuration¶

kete.routes.<name>.destination.content-encoding=gzip

Details¶

Property	Value
Config	`gzip`
Algorithm	GZIP (RFC 1952)
Java class	`java.util.zip.GZIPOutputStream`

Notes¶

Widely supported by HTTP servers and clients
Good compression ratio for text-based formats (JSON, XML, YAML)
Adds a small overhead for already-compact binary formats (Protobuf, Avro, CBOR)
Consumers decompress with any standard gzip library

Example¶

kete.routes.compressed.destination.kind=http
kete.routes.compressed.destination.url=https://example.com/events
kete.routes.compressed.destination.content-encoding=gzip
