flate2

Documentation

A streaming compression/decompression library for Rust. The underlying implementation by default uses miniz but can optionally be configured to use the system zlib, if available.

Supported formats:

• deflate
• zlib
• gzip

```toml

Cargo.toml

[dependencies] flate2 = "0.2" ```

Using zlib instead of miniz:

toml [dependencies] flate2 = { version = "0.2", features = ["zlib"], default-features = false }

Compression

```rust extern crate flate2;

use std::io::prelude::*; use flate2::Compression; use flate2::write::ZlibEncoder;

fn main() { let mut e = ZlibEncoder::new(Vec::new(), Compression::Default); e.write(b"foo"); e.write(b"bar"); let compressed_bytes = e.finish(); } ```

Decompression

```rust,no_run extern crate flate2;

use std::io::prelude::*; use flate2::read::GzDecoder;

fn main() { let mut d = GzDecoder::new("...".asbytes()).unwrap(); let mut s = String::new(); d.readto_string(&mut s).unwrap(); println!("{}", s); } ```
