flate2

A streaming compression/decompression library DEFLATE-based streams in Rust.

This crate by default implemented as a wrapper around the miniz_oxide crate, a port of miniz.c to Rust. This crate can also optionally use the zlib library or miniz.c itself.

Supported formats:

• deflate
• zlib
• gzip

```toml

Cargo.toml

[dependencies] flate2 = "1.0" ```

Using zlib instead of the Rust backend:

toml [dependencies] flate2 = { version = "1.0", features = ["zlib"], default-features = false }

Using miniz.c:

toml [dependencies] flate2 = { version = "1.0", features = ["miniz-sys"], default-features = false }

Compression

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

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

Decompression

```rust,no_run use std::io::prelude::*; use flate2::read::GzDecoder;

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