Compression

Wisej.NET provides built-in compression support for all HTTP and WebSocket communications.

Enabling Compression

Compression is enabled by default. Both browser and Wisej.NET server use gzip as the default compression system.

Wisej.NET automatically compresses all HTTP and WebSocket packets when the size exceeds a certain threshold, ensuring that compression doesn't result in larger packets.

You may disable WebSocket compression by setting the enableWebSocketCompression setting to false in Default.json.

Disabling WebSocket compression allows you to debug the frames when examining Network packets using the browser's Developer Tools.

  "enableWebSocketCompression": false
}

Brotli

Wisej.NET fully supports the Brotli compression library - even on browsers without native Brotli support.

Use Add New Item and select Brotli to add the Wisej.Web.Ext.Brotli assembly. The source code for this extension is available in our Github repository: Brotli extension source code.

Under some still unknown circumstances, the Brotli implementation from Google may generate the error "Unused space" on the browser. If you encounter this error, simply remove Wisej.Web.Ext.Brotli.dll.
