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. Speed-wise it's not quite up to zlib-levels yet.

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
