Gzip support (permessage-deflate)

[intellix]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about support, but I'm wondering if it's possible to do gzipping in the websocket layer and if graphql-ws supports it

WebSockets do support compression. However, this happens one layer above graphql-ws so we inherently support compression if the server does.

If you're using Node ws library, you need to set up the server configuring the perMessageDeflate options.

awesome, does this just work in the client as well?

The browser should handle that for you automatically. No configuration needed there either.
