Compress

Compression middleware for Fiber that will compress the response using gzip, deflate, brotli, and zstd compression depending on the Accept-Encoding header.

note

The compression middleware refrains from compressing bodies that are smaller than 200 bytes. This decision is based on the observation that, in such cases, the compressed size is likely to exceed the original size, making compression inefficient. more

Signatures

func New(config ...Config) fiber.Handler

Examples

Import the middleware package that is part of the Fiber web framework

import (
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3/middleware/compress"
)

After you initiate your Fiber app, you can use the following possibilities:

// Initialize default config
app.Use(compress.New())

// Or extend your config for customization
app.Use(compress.New(compress.Config{
    Level: compress.LevelBestSpeed, // 1
}))

// Skip middleware for specific routes
app.Use(compress.New(compress.Config{
    Next:  func(c fiber.Ctx) bool {
      return c.Path() == "/dont_compress"
    },
    Level: compress.LevelBestSpeed, // 1
}))

Config

Config

Property	Type	Description	Default
Next	func(fiber.Ctx) bool	Next defines a function to skip this middleware when returned true.	nil
Level	Level	Level determines the compression algorithm.	LevelDefault (0)

Possible values for the "Level" field are:

• LevelDisabled (-1): Compression is disabled.
• LevelDefault (0): Default compression level.
• LevelBestSpeed (1): Best compression speed.
• LevelBestCompression (2): Best compression.

Default Config

var ConfigDefault = Config{
    Next:  nil,
    Level: LevelDefault,
}

Constants

// Compression levels
const (
    LevelDisabled        = -1
    LevelDefault         = 0
    LevelBestSpeed       = 1
    LevelBestCompression = 2
