Module std.encoding.compress

Compression and decompression (gzip, deflate, zlib).

Compress and decompress binary data using gzip, raw deflate, or zlib formats. Each helper takes bytes and fails with a CompressError carrying the codec's reason. Decompression callers must pass an explicit max_output_len to fail closed on oversized payloads; a conservative starting point is 64 * 1024 * 1024.

Examples

import std.encoding.compress;

fn main() {
    var data: bytes = bytes.new();
    data.push(72);
    data.push(101);
    data.push(108);
    data.push(108);
    data.push(111);
    let compressed = compress.gzip_compress(data) handle error {
        println(f"operation failed: {error}");
        return;
    };
    let decompressed = compress.gzip_decompress(compressed, 64 * 1024 * 1024) handle error {
        println(f"operation failed: {error}");
        return;
    };
    println(decompressed.len());  // 5
}
