payload-optimization

What problem does it solve?

This Skill reduces API payload size by removing dead weight from data responses. It recursively strips null, undefined, empty strings, empty arrays, and empty objects, ensuring only meaningful data is transmitted.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automatic data compaction: recursively remove null/undefined/empty values from nested objects and arrays.
• Integration with API layers: works with formatEntity and payload utilities to reduce network traffic.
• Real-world scenario: optimize responses in high-latency or high-traffic APIs to save bandwidth and improve performance.

Quick Start

Use the compact() function on an API response payload to strip dead weight before sending to clients.
