Description : Django middleware to compress responses using several
algorithms
This middleware implements compressed content encoding for HTTP. It is
similar to Django's GZipMiddleware, but additionally supports other
compression methods. It is meant to be a drop-in replacement for Django's
GZipMiddleware.
The middleware is focussed on the task of compressing typical Django
responses such as HTML, JSON, etc. Both normal (bulk) and streaming
responses are supported. For static file compression, have a look at other
projects such as WhiteNoise.
Zstandard is a new method for compression with little client support so far.
Most browsers now support Brotli compression. The middleware will choose the
best compression method supported by the client as indicated in the
request's Accept-Encoding header.
I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.
