What is “compressed JSON”?

Question

I see a lot of references to \"compressed JSON\" when it comes to different serialization formats. What exactly is it? Is it just gzipped JSON or something else?

Compressed:

[["KeyA", "KeyB", "KeyC", "KeyD", "KeyE", "KeyF"],
["ValA1", "ValB1", "ValC1", "ValD1", "ValE1", "ValF1"],
["ValA2", "ValB2", "ValC2", "ValD2", "ValE2", "ValF2"],
["ValA3", "ValB3", "ValC3", "ValD3", "ValE3", "ValF3"],
["ValA4", "ValB4", "ValC4", "ValD4", "ValE4", "ValF4"]]

Uncompressed:

[{KeyA: "ValA1", KeyB: "ValB1", KeyC: "ValC1", KeyD: "ValD1", KeyE: "ValE1", KeyF: "ValF1"},
{KeyA: "ValA2", KeyB: "ValB2", KeyC: "ValC2", KeyD: "ValD2", KeyE: "ValE2", KeyF: "ValF2"},
{KeyA: "ValA3", KeyB: "ValB3", KeyC: "ValC3", KeyD: "ValD3", KeyE: "ValE3", KeyF: "ValF3"},
{KeyA: "ValA4", KeyB: "ValB4", KeyC: "ValC4", KeyD: "ValD4", KeyE: "ValE4", KeyF: "ValF4"}]
