|
## Context
|
|
|
|
It may look like a good idea to make monolith compress retrieved assets while
|
|
saving the page for the purpose of reducing the resulting document's file size.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
Given that the main purpose of this program is to save pages in a convenient to store and share manner — it's mostly an archiving tool,
|
|
aside from being able to tell monolith to exclude certain types of asests (e.g. images, CSS, JavaScript),
|
|
it would be outside of scope of this program to implement code for compressing assets. Minimizing files before embedding them
|
|
does not reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred either. A separate tool can be used later to compress and minimize pages
|
|
saved by monolith, if needed.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
Monolith will not support modification of original document assets for the purpose of reducing their size, sticking to performing only minimal
|
|
amount of modifications to the original web page — whatever is needed to provide security or exclude unwanted asset types.
