I was wondering if there is a way to parse a zipped xml file such as example.xml.gz with jQuery on the fly?
The reason is the file is huge and effects the performance if we call a request to the unzipped file. Any tips?

You could let the browser handle the decompression.
Browsers support
Content-Encoding=gzip, which does the gzipping “transparently” at the server/client level.You can serve pre-gzipped data from a file (your
example.xml.gz) as well, this just requires some configuration to make the server send the header and send the data as-is, not trying to recompress it.
