Is it worth the effort to try to reduce JSON size?

Question

I am submitting relatively lots of data from a mobile application (up to 1000 JSON objects), that I would normally encode like this:

[{
    id: 12,
    score         


        

Answer 1

JSONH, aka hpack, https://github.com/WebReflection/JSONH does something very similar to your example:

[{
    id: 12,
    score: 34,
    interval: 5678,
    sub: 9012
}, {
    id: 98,
    score: 76,
    interval: 5432,
    sub: 1098
}, ...]

Would turn into:

[["id","score","interval","sub"],12,34,5678,9012,98,76,5432,1098,...]
