Gzip library for client-side compression

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.

how to work with .xlsx files?
You could also parse them yourself. If you read the open documentation on the XLSX format, you'll find it's actually just a collection of ZIP files containing XML formatted files. You can stream the files into Nodejs with an archive parsing library such as yauzl and parse the data using an XML parse such as rgrove/parse-xml
What are some alternatives?
When comparing pako and yauzl you can also consider the following projects:
JSZip - Create, read and edit .zip files with Javascript
fast-zlib - Shared context synchronous compression
decompress - Extracting archives made easy
decompress-zip - Module that decompresses zip files
Archiver - a streaming interface for archive generation
fflate - High performance (de)compression in an 8kB package
tar-stream - tar-stream is a streaming tar parser and generator.
