sending large JSON data from android to php server can I compress?

i am sending large datasets in JSON format from my android device to my server (using PHP). I want to keep bandwidth costs down. I am wondering: should I gzip compress the JSON data server side before sending the data? is there a javascript gzip uncompression library in php side and what i do in android side?

You can compress your JSON output in this way from PHP server.

echo gzencode(json_encode($data));

And for android side you can use "gzip decoder"

You should compress your output JSON, but you can let your php sever side script do it for you. If you use a standard compression on HTTP level the client will decompress that automatically

If you want to send JSON data single form than use following way 

echo gzencode(json_encode($data));
