I'm working on a PhoneGap application that uses jQuery and jQuery Mobile. I need a way to compress data somehow (for local storage) and also decompress it using JavaScript/jQuery. So far, the only thing I've seen is jSEND but as far as I know, it only compresses the data and the PHP counterpart is responsible for decompressing. What I need is a local compress / decompress action.

What for do you need to decompress it? Even with no spaces it will work fine – pbibergal Nov 27 '12 at 16:56

Perhaps I misunderstood jSEND's usage. Is it not usable for binary data? – Propeller Nov 27 '12 at 16:58

You should update your question to indicate you're working with image data. – Selosindis Nov 27 '12 at 17:12

Currently there's no phonegap compression library/plugin. It would be nice solution, unfortunately it would also be platform dependent.
Still there's javascript solution for zip compression: http://stuartk.com/jszip/
With that in mind you can then send it/upload it as a BASE64 string.
