如何压缩JSON

Question

I have a webservice sending a huge JSON text to an Android app. There's about 20000 ID numbers. Unfortunately but perhaps not surprisingly it's timing out.

What options do I have? The easiest one that comes to mind is somehow compressing this data. Is there any way I can do this (PHP webservice, Java Android app) effectively?

Failing that, is there some technique to send JSON in parts? If so, how does that work? At what point is JSON considered too big to send in one part? Thank you

You can use GZIP in php and send as stream to client and then decode data with java in android

you can use this for gzip in php: GZIP

and Gzip in Android : GZIP
