compressor methods

Answered
Jerome Rioux asked on August 19, 2024

Hey could you add an option to methods like

compressor.compressJson

to keep the zeros ? Since

!0 === true       (see your 'processDataRow(rowObj)' method)

when I call those methods, all the zeros in my reports disappear and I now have blank spaces everywhere. This won't work with my company :/

Thank you !

Hello, Jerome!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Kindly note that now Flexmonster Data Compressor is considered deprecated, and we support it only for backward compatibility.

The performance of the component itself is constantly improving, so we recommend trying to use Flexmonster without the Compressor.
Here are our starting guides to connect Flexmonster:

Hope you will find our answer helpful.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Hey. I can connect fine but I was looking for ways to compress the data. I can see and access the code for the compressor methods, would it be allright if I use it in the future (Let's say it stops working and you don't fix it because it's deprecated. I would re-write it with a couple of changes) ?
