# resourcesCompressible

A property that indicates whether the archiver attempts to compress the resources passed to it.

```
var resourcesCompressible: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

If the majority of resources to export are already compressed files – such as most image file formats – implement this property to return `false`, since the files won’t benefit from further compression.
On the other hand, if most exported resources are text files or other compressible data, return `true` to allow AppMigrationKit to compress them.
The compression allows AppMigrationKit to optimize the migration process.
