How to send large text (String) as response from a REST service to REST client in Java?












2















I have a restful application, where I need to send text as response to REST client. Now the problem is that sometimes text could be huge nearly 100000 characters.



Can I send large data as normal, plain text?



How to send it through the network to my REST client?

  • A POST response has generally no size limitations so 100000 characters should not be a problem. There can, however, be a limitation due to the web server and/or implementation you use.

    100,000 characters of ASCII text is only 98kB (allow a bit more for unicode) - people transfer much larger chunks of data over the internet all the time (think video)

  • For HTTP connections I'd recommend chuncked transfer encodings, especially for larger payloads, as this allows you to send data to the client continiously and end the stream with a simple 0

You should use HTTP compression by using Accept-Encoding request header and Content-Encoding response header:



GET /your-url HTTP/1.1

Host: www.example.com

Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate


This will make the compression transparent for most REST API clients. GZIP should be handled out of the box by most client libraries plus it can be disabled by not setting Accept-Encoding header.

    Note that compression over HTTPS can leave you vulnernable to BREACH attacks.

Dulmage-Mendelsohn matrix decomposition in Python

Image
0 Matlab has a function called dmperm that computes the so-called Dulmage–Mendelsohn decomposition of a n x n matrix. From wikipedia, the Dulmage–Mendelsohn is a partition of the vertices of a bipartite graph into subsets, with the property that two adjacent vertices belong to the same subset if and only if they are paired with each other in a perfect matching of the graph. Looking both on scipy and numpy, I could not find this function, nor some similar version. Is it possible to implement it using basic linear algebra operations? Any idea if this is implemented in some Python package? python matlab linear-algebra graph-theory matrix-decomposition share | improve this question
