Should i encode tiny API responses? Something like only single or couple json objects ( { “msg”: true } )
I guess encoding a tiny response especially with gzip will increase response length. Am i right?
If yes, which algorithm/algorithms should i use?
I think if small responses are not overwhelming majority of your traffic you don’t really need to worry about them. Just enable encoding and don’t worry about it too much. 
The encode middleware already will not compress small responses. Its threshold is currently 512 bytes.
