# GZIP V1 (Deprecated)

{% hint style="info" %}
The GZIP V1 component is deprecated and no longer updated. Please refer to the document with the most recent version of the feature: [GZIP V2](/documentation/connectors-and-triggers/connectors/files/gzip-v2.md).
{% endhint %}

**GZIP V1** zips an entire JSON object as a string.

## Parameters

Take a look at the configuration parameters of the component:

<table data-full-width="true"><thead><tr><th>Parameter</th><th width="243">Description</th><th>Default value</th><th>Data type</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Operation</strong></td><td>Compress and decompress.</td><td>N/A</td><td>String</td></tr><tr><td><strong>JSON Field</strong></td><td>JSON path to be zipped.</td><td>N/A</td><td>String</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Preserve Original</strong></td><td>If activated, the option preserves original fields that have a prefix with an underscore.</td><td>False</td><td>Boolean</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Binary Content</strong></td><td>If activated, the option makes the data to be treated as binary, and base64 is expected.</td><td>False</td><td>Boolean</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Fail On Error</strong></td><td>If the option is enabled, the execution of the pipeline with error will be interrupted; otherwise, the pipeline execution proceeds, but the result will show a false value for the "success" property.</td><td>False</td><td>Boolean</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Messages flow <a href="#messages-flow" id="messages-flow"></a>

### Input <a href="#input" id="input"></a>

Supports any structure, but only if the element to be compressed is specified.

### Output <a href="#output" id="output"></a>

Preserves the input message, with JSON object compressed in the base64 format.

**Example:**

The steps inside **Retry** component are executed 3 times until they're successful - "true" should appear in the message:

```
"start": [
{
"type": "connector",
"name": "gzip-connector",
"stepName": "test-compress",
"params": {
"operation" : "compress",
"failOnError": false,
"jsonField": "body.test",
"preserveOriginal" : false,
"isBinary" : false
}
}
]
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.digibee.com/documentation/connectors-and-triggers/connectors/files/gzip-v1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
