Enhancing Event Compression and Encoding Support
--------------------------------------------------------
`draft` `optional` `author:b35363`
### Abstract
This NIP proposes a modification to the WebSocket protocol to introduce a more flexible and modular approach for message compression and encoding.
It suggests extending the current WebSocket message structure to include optional encoding information, such as _base64_, _base58_,
_gzip64_, _gzip58_, and _plaintext_. This enhancement aims to improve modularity, retro-compatibility, and the potential for futureencoding schemes.
This NIP proposes a modification to the **Nostr** protocol to introduce a more flexible and modular approach for message compression and encoding. It suggests extending the current WebSocket message structure to include optional encoding information, such as _base64_, _base58_, _gzip64_, _gzip58_, and _plaintext_. This enhancement aims to improve modularity, retro-compatibility, and the potential for future encoding schemes.
### Motivation
**WebSocket** is a widely used protocol for real-time communication between clients and servers.
While the WebSocket protocol itself ([ref. LZ77](#markdown-header-lz77)) supports message compression,
While the WebSocket protocol itself (ref. [LZ77](#lz77)) supports message compression,
there are scenarios where direct WebSocket compression might not be sufficient or optimal.
This NIP suggests leveraging encoding and compression techniques within the message payload to provide enhanced flexibility
and compatibility.

This approach offers improved modularity, retro-compatibility, and the potential for accommodating future encoding schemes.
By allowing clients and servers to selectively choose their preferred encoding, the proposed changes empower developers to optimize communication based on their specific requirements.
