I tried this once and discovered that for us it worked even better when populating the dictionary with a bunch of commonly seen URLs. Like that includes the same field names as the json schema, but none of the other JSON Schema cruft, and it also includes commonly used values etc. It seemed like the smarter I tried to be, the worse the results got.

I just used Pako.js which accepts a `{ dictionary: string }` option. Concat a bunch of common URL together, done.

The only downside (with both our approaches) is if you add substantially many new fields / common values later on, you need to update the dictionary, and then old URLs don't work, so you'd need some sort of versioning scheme and use the right dictionary for the right version.
