How do I add gzip compression with Gin in Go?

To enable gzip compression in your Gin application, you will need to import the gzip middleware and use it in your main application file. Gzip compression helps reduce the size of the response body, improving loading times for your users.

Example


        package main

        import (
            "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
            "github.com/gin-contrib/gzip"
        )

        func main() {
            r := gin.Default()

            // Use gzip middleware
            r.Use(gzip.Gzip(gzip.DefaultCompression))

            r.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) {
                c.String(200, "Hello, World with Gzip Compression!")
            })

            r.Run(":8080")
        }
