It inspects the client's Accept-Encoding header and applies the appropriate algorithm, handling both standard and streaming responses transparently. The middleware is built on top of cramjam, which provides Rust-backed compression bindings for performance.\n\nYou configure it by specifying which compression algorithms to support, the compression level (0\u201311), a minimum response size threshold to avoid compressing small payloads, and optional path or media-type exclusions. It integrates directly into Starlette's middleware stack with minimal setup and requires only Python 3.11 or later.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and solves a common Starlette use case with a clean API. Install it if you need HTTP compression middleware for a Starlette application and want support for multiple algorithms beyond the standard library."},"id":"starlette-cramjam","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/starlette-cramjam","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/starlette-cramjam.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/starlette-cramjam/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"starlette-cramjam","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Cramjam integration for Starlette ASGI framework."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":212832,"position":9449,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.0"}
