RPC requests/responses / data packets

[nemequ]

Small chunks of data which are often compressed. Some JSON, and maybe some Protocol Buffers? MessagePack? BSON?

[nemequ]

Added technion.json. May still be a good idea to add some protocol buffer data (though I don't have any good ideas about where to get it), so I'm leaving this open for now.

I ended up removing technion.json for licensing reasons, but I'd really like to re-add it. It's just the response from a query to the Google Geocoding API for the building which houses the computer science department at Technion, where Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv were working when they created LZ77/78.

The URL (which you need an API key for) is https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?place_id=ChIJxaX-CJG6HRURcYTahYYyZ9A&key=YOUR_API_KEY

The content is

Someone suggested that the easiest way to get an appropriate license applied to it would be to include it as test data for Brotli. @eustas, is this something you'd be willing/able to help with?

Hello.
I'll see what I can do. This looks like a good real-life thing that is worthy to measure against.

Hi, for protobuf data, you can have a look at pbf formatted map data from open street map. Some country extracts can be found for example here: https://download.gisgraphy.com/openstreetmap/pbf/

@luvarqpp, I like the idea of using OSM data, thanks! This seems like it would be perfect for representing a stream of RPC responses.
