JSONDB implementation
###
# JSONDB - a compressed JSON format
# By Devon Govett
# Originally proposed by Peter Michaux - http://michaux.ca/articles/json-db-a-compressed-json-format
#
# jsondb.pack converts an array of objects with the same keys (i.e. from a database)
# and flattens them into a single array, which is much smaller than the pure json
# representation where the keys are repeated for each item in the array.
# Combine with JSON.stringify to send compressed JSON data over the network.

jsondb + msgpack
var arr = [],
obj = {'abcdef' : 1, 'qqq' : 13, '19' : [1, 2, 3, 4]};
for(var i = 0; i < 5000; i++)
arr.push(obj);
// jsondb(arr) looks something like this:
// ["abcdef", "qqq", "19", [1, 13, [1, 2, 3, 4]], [1, 13, [1, 2, 3, 4]]...]
> JSON.stringify(arr).length //original

Gyazo script
  1. Change $path and $uri as necessary in gyazo.php and upload it to your server
  2. Change HOST and CGI as necessary in script and use it to replace Gyazo.app/Contents/Resources/script (right-click -> Show Package Contents to get there)
  3. Continue along as usual
