Enable text compression in AEM

@rajesh_didshe Were you able to succeed? 

To enable text compression using OSGi config and dispatcher rules for JSON files in AEM, you can follow these steps:

1. Enable text compression in AEM.

   • Go to the AEM Configuration Manager.
   • Navigate to OSGi > Configurations > Apache Sling Dispatcher.
   • Edit the filter configuration.
   • Add the following filter rule:
   JSON

   {
       "glob": "*.json",
       "type": "allow",
       "name": "Allow JSON",
       "action": "gzip"
   }
   

   • Save the configuration.

2. Configure the Dispatcher.

   • Edit the dispatcher.any file.
   • Add the following filter rule:
   JSON

   /filter {
       /0001 {
           /glob "*.json"
           /type "allow"
           /name "Allow JSON"
           /action "gzip"
       }
   }
   

   • Save the file.

3. Restart the Dispatcher.

Once you have completed these steps, text compression will be enabled for JSON files in AEM.

Note: If you are using AEM as a Cloud Service, you cannot edit the dispatcher.any file directly. Instead, you must use the Dispatcher configuration UI. To do this, go to the Dispatcher section of the Cloud Manager and click Edit Configuration. Then, add the filter rule.

Hi,

By default, AEM does not compress JSON files. To enable compression for JSON you can add below in dispatcher.any file

/filter{
/0001
{
/glob "*.json"
/type "allow"
/name "Allow JSON"
/action "gzip"
}
}

After making changes to the Dispatcher configuration, restart the Apache web server to apply the new rules.

Can you elaborate on what type of compression you are referring to?

I guess you are referring to dispatcher compression, if so, you could use the DEFLATE mod, please take a look at these resources that will guide how to enable this:
