Response Compression

Sharkable provides one-line response compression via ASP.NET Core's built-in middleware.

Quick Start

builder.Services.AddShark(opt =>
{
    opt.EnableResponseCompression = true;
});

All JSON/text responses are compressed with gzip/brotli (based on client's Accept-Encoding header). Already-compressed content (images, videos) is automatically skipped.

Pipeline Position

Compression middleware runs early in the pipeline (after tracing, before graceful shutdown) to cover the widest range of responses.

Performance

• Reduces JSON payload size by 60-80%
• Zero code changes in endpoints or services
• Uses ASP.NET Core's ResponseCompressionMiddleware — battle-tested, AOT-compatible
