Hi to all,
we have to prototype a dashboard based on a Postgres DB.
The data is saved in JSON format, but unfortunately is also compressed with lz-string:
Has anyone experienced this before? Is there some function to call, or should I make a python script and call it?
Best regards
Daniele Tiles

Hi I've solved it with Python.
Hi
I would be very grateful indeed if you could share the code you used to decompress values compressed with lz-string as I need it for a business critical application
If possible, Can you please share the python code to Decrypt JSON compressed with lz-string for the column mentioned.
