Compress Network Traffic

Compression Algorithm Dependencies

The following table lists each algorithm and the dependency it requires, if any:

Specify Compression Algorithms

You can enable compression for the connection to your MongoDB instance by specifying the algorithms in one of two ways. Select the Connection String or MongoClientSettings tab to see the corresponding syntax:

• In the compressors parameter of your connection string

• In the compressorList method chained to the MongoClientSettings.builder() method

The following example shows how to specify all compression algorithms:

ConnectionString connectionString = new ConnectionString(
        "mongodb+srv://<db_username>:<db_password>@<cluster-url>/?compressors=snappy,zlib,zstd");
MongoClient client = MongoClients.create(connectionString);

MongoClientSettings settings = MongoClientSettings.builder()
        .compressorList(Arrays.asList(MongoCompressor.createSnappyCompressor(),
                MongoCompressor.createZlibCompressor(),
                MongoCompressor.createZstdCompressor()))
        .build();
MongoClient client = MongoClients.create(settings);
