…utf-8 encoding
Replaced default json.dumps whitespace indentation with compact separators=(',', ':')
and explicitly enforced application/json; charset=utf-8 headers. This minimizes
network bandwidth and CPU serialization overhead.

Code Review
This pull request updates the send_json method in simple_seismic_server.py to explicitly specify the UTF-8 charset in the Content-Type header and the string encoding. Feedback suggests further optimizing the JSON serialization by setting ensure_ascii=False to reduce payload size for non-ASCII data and notes that explicit UTF-8 encoding is redundant in Python 3.

Since you are explicitly setting the charset to UTF-8 in the headers and encoding the output as UTF-8, you should set ensure_ascii=False in the json.dumps call. By default, json.dumps escapes non-ASCII characters (e.g., \u1234), which increases payload size and negates the benefit of using a UTF-8 encoding for the transport. Setting this to False will result in smaller payloads for non-ASCII data and is more consistent with your goal of 'robust character serialization'. Additionally, note that .encode('utf-8') is the default for .encode() in Python 3, making that part of the change redundant but harmless.

💡 What:
Optimized JSON serialization in
simple_seismic_server.py'ssend_jsonmethod.separators=(',', ':').application/json; charset=utf-8via headers..encode('utf-8').🎯 Why:
The previous implementation (and original issue report pointing to
indent=2) was highly inefficient for a production HTTP API. Unnecessary whitespace vastly inflates payload size (wasting network bandwidth) and CPU cycles during dictionary iteration/serialization.📊 Measured Improvement:
