# Message Compression

To reduce transfer size, the content of some messages are sent in a compressed format. This compressed data is available in the `compressedData` field in the message. The format of this field is a base64 encoded zlib compressed JSON string.

Python example for decompressing import base64 import zlib

```
data = "eJyl0b1uwyAQAOBXQcy1hLHjn65RorZppQ6VKnU74GKj2hABHqLI716ztK6aenA24Lj7TncXiibocH5U9J5QKZgSUPOEbzKRpCmKBJRME8ZzDjLljDFO7wg9ofPW+CnlQhWUWSWLfDEnfpRwCqDNdD5C53EqI7SIalbEmgZ6jLcXbJUme90M6CzEiA/gAropGNyA4/QSzZqhXG/mbG4+I5AP3ffoejD/k5WAYj2ZbubkrtPgyd6hke1fMc7Yeh20jYXoln63gGJ5O8uTLuctbHU3NWHIwV5r4WfOHG8Q67n4BGeFhjwghAWxOpZwg1jNxQN03dCTV3Cf6BdIwGo9+Wuxby1a8q6bRptr4Dh+AT9i+9U="

compressed_data = base64.b64decode(data.encode())
output = zlib.decompress(compressed_data).decode()
print(output)
