Gzip library for client-side compression
try pako

Storing State in the URL
A trick I've used on top of serializing JSON in the URL is in-browser compression with a library like pako [0] (zlib in JavaScript). This helps you get more data in before you reach the browser limit for URL length.

Browsers can do that?
Another operation that is sometimes desired is to take several files and give the user a compressed file. There are actually a surprisingly large amount (jszip, pako) of client side options here, but my favorite so far when it comes to speed, size and working with .zip has been fflate. But if you'd like to work with other formats, there are also libraries to decompress 7-Zip, RAR & TAR.

Major updates for bundle.js.org v0.0.3
I used monaco-editor for the code-editor, esbuild and rollup as bundler and treeshaker respectively, pako as a js port of the zlib and gzip libraries, pretty-bytes to convert the gzip size to human readable values, and countapi-js to keep track of the number of page visits, in a private and secure way.

Interacting with usernotes outside of toolbox
Just wanted to let you know the most current version of pako does not work with the example on the wiki page. It errors out with "unknown compression format". I had to use the version found in Toolbox lib folder in order to get the example from the wiki page to work.

Pushing The Limits Of The Modern Browser
I've gone with ImageMagick ported to WebAssembly to do basically the exact same things as with FFMpeg, but with a tiny bit less locking up. In the future I would like to get these things running in multithreaded Web Workers as well as have the ability to easily configure transcode settings to whatever is desired instead of the defaults as it is now.

Browsers can do that?
When it comes to audio/video the trusted tool that is often used on the desktop is FFmpeg and this too has been ported to run in the browser, although if you want multithreading you will need to make sure you have special CORS headers enabled to gain access to the SharedArrayBuffer. For images on desktop there is the popular ImageMagick which indeed also has been ported.
