I just use brotli compression in fastify to stream JSON (or anything really) to the browser

This is an interesting spec though. Kinda weak they only have gzip and deflate that have been around for DECADES. At least support some newer specs like brotli that have better compression. It already exists in the browser goddamnit!

https://www.fastify.io/

I think having gzip available for sending text and json POST data could be really good. In some testing I found that it can help squeeze some requests into a single packet.
