File or folder compression in AEM

[Monendra_Singh]

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,

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,
Jörg

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 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.
