Compression Dictionary Transport
Compression Dictionary Transport is a way of using a shared compression dictionary, rather than the standard static dictionary in Brotli compression or Zstandard compression, to dramatically reduce the transport size of HTTP responses.
For example, when downloading app.v2.js
, if the client already has app.v1.js
then they can reference text from that by using it as a dictionary and effectivelly only download the delta and a small amount of references to the v1
file.
See the Compression Dictionary Transport guide for more information.
