Documentation

JSON-LZW

This is a compression algorithm for json data (use jsonpack and lzw).

In my tests the json message is reduced by almost 80%.

Install

npm install json-lzw

Example

"use strict";

var lzw = require("json-lzw");
var buffer = "{ 'message': 'hello world' }";

var encode = lzw.encode(buffer);
console.log(encode);

var decode = lzw.decode(buffer);
console.log(decode);

API

encode(value)

encoding json string and return string encoded

decode(value)

decoding string value and return json string

AngularJS integration

Under json-lzw-install-path/angular there is jsonlzw.js, port of this library for AngularJS. Follow example of use.

In your html file put

<script src="path/jsonlzw.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

In your angular controller file put

var app = angular.module('app', ['jsonlzw']);

app.controller('myController', function($scope, jsonlzw) {
    ...
    var encode = jsonlzw.encode(...);
    ...
    var decode = jsonlzw.decode(...);
    ...
}
