ZSON
A PostgreSQL extension that compresses JSONB data using a shared dictionary of frequent strings, saving disk space and memory.
What is ZSON?
ZSON is a PostgreSQL extension that provides transparent compression for JSONB data. It solves the problem of JSONB's storage inefficiency by building a shared dictionary of frequent strings from your actual data, reducing disk space and memory usage while maintaining full compatibility with PostgreSQL's JSONB functionality.
Database administrators and developers using PostgreSQL with large volumes of JSONB data who need to optimize storage and improve performance without changing their application code.
Developers choose ZSON because it offers a seamless, drop-in compression solution specifically tailored for JSONB, with the ability to learn from real data patterns and adapt to schema changes over time, unlike generic compression methods.
