While gzip compression is obviously better than this, which is more of an optimization, you can certainly pair this with gzip to get better results; albeit not much: Sample JSON Object, using this technique: >>> Length…
Well, at the end of the article he shows this technique used along with gzip. He however does not show a comparison of the original vs his 90deg compression with gzip; so the difference there may be negligible.
This looks a lot like the first compression step in JSON HPack: https://github.com/WebReflection/json.hpack/wiki
Because it's a software update? I don't know what qualifies to be posted on HN, but people post software releases and updates here all the time.
