File or folder compression in AEM

Hi all,

I have created a service which navigates through my product nodes and gets all required properties. It stores all the data in json file under "/content/my-project/data" folder as mydata.json.

The generated file size is around 5 MB. Can I do some kind of optimization/compression which can reduce the size of the file? May be "/content/my-project/data" folder compression.

Is there any api or OOTB feature which I can leverage? Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Monendra

Hi

As mentioned by Jorg, there is no OOTB to achieve the needful.

You need to write your Component/Service to compress it and uncompress it when needed.

I hope this would be helpful.

Hi,

there is no ootb possibility to compress any kind of binary attached to a node. I think that you need to design and implement this on your own.

kind regards,

I was also having a similar use-case where I have to zip a few files under DAM assets so I was looking some online OOTB/Blog and I found link https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/downloading-dam-assets.html. Thought to update it here.
