For a JSON string, contains all kinds of settings, numbers, text etc (no fancy binaries but may include Unicode/UTF8). Total JSON string fairly fall into 10k~50K range.

I want to compress it before save to database.

So I wonder which compress method should I choose, I am using c# 4, I know I can choose gzip and deflate but the compression radio is not good (although speed is good).

More specific, compress can be a little slow (since only once) but should be small. Decompress should be lighting fast since decompress happens lots.

Please give some advice.

    gzip should be fine…however, you might want to store it as a binary and maybe use this library:

    however, it depends on your needs. are you going to smallest size, fastest compression? one point to note is that it won’t be searchable.
