# optimize titles.json
In [Yari](https://github.com/mdn/yari), as a build step we produce a
`build/$locale/titles.json` file which get downloaded, with XHR, in
the browser so it matters that it's not unnecessarily big which means
due to network speed would be bad user experience.
## To run the experiment
Run:
python 1.py # generates 1.json
python 2.py # genetates 2.csv
python 3.py # generates 4.json
python 4.py # generates 4.json
Produce the table with:
python table.py
Or just use `ls`:
ls -ltrS
## Results
One version of the results as of today:
Exclusively `gzip` sizes:
Just the `.gz` versions:
```bash
▶ ls -ltrS *.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peterbe staff 155639 Jul 15 14:05 5.json.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peterbe staff 158917 Jul 15 12:05 4.json.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peterbe staff 195261 Jul 15 11:59 2.csv.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peterbe staff 209658 Jul 15 11:56 1.json.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peterbe staff 213309 Jul 15 12:00 3.json.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peterbe staff 213342 Jul 15 11:54 0.json.gz
```
And pretty-printed sizes:
```bash
▶ ls -ltrSh *.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peterbe staff 152K Jul 15 14:05 5.json.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peterbe staff 155K Jul 15 12:05 4.json.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peterbe staff 191K Jul 15 11:59 2.csv.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peterbe staff 205K Jul 15 11:56 1.json.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peterbe staff 208K Jul 15 12:00 3.json.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peterbe staff 208K Jul 15 11:54 0.json.gz
```
## Conclusion
The cheapest thing you can do is to round the `popularity` numbers down to
fewer significant figures. And to omit the `popularity` when it's 0 anyway
doesn't hurt.
