Description

suppose i have multiple clients implemented in different languages(go, java...), and all of them need to download roaringbitmap from server through http.

when bitmap gets large(about 10 millions) and serialized binary data comes out about 20 MB, i think compress before sending may save a lot of transmission time.

i am trying use gzip. any suggestions about compressing?

thanks in advance

No repository file, test, or entry point is named. Review the Roaring bitmap serialization and HTTP transport assumptions, then compare gzip with the interoperability needs of the Go and Java clients. Done means documenting a concrete compression recommendation and any format or transport constraints.
