deflate-rs

An rust implementation of a DEFLATE encoder. Not a direct port, but does take some inspiration from zlib and zopfli(for huffman code length generation).

So far, in-memory deflate encoding with and without zlib metadata (no zlib dictionary or gzip support yet) has been is implemented. No unsafe code has been used. Currently not very optimised, and is very slow on larger files.

Usage:

rust let data = ...; let compressed = deflate_bytes(&data);

• flate2 FLATE, Gzip, and Zlib bindings for Rust
• Zopfli in Rust Rust port of zopfli
• inflate DEFLATE decoder implemented in rust
• miniz-rs Direct rust translation of miniz.c
