miniz_oxide

A pure rust replacement for the miniz DEFLATE/zlib encoder/decoder. The main intention of this crate is to be used as a back-end for the flate2, but it can also be used on it's own. Using flate2 with the rust_backend feature provides an easy to use streaming API for miniz_oxide.

Requires at least rust 1.34.

Usage

Simple compression/decompression:

extern crate miniz_oxide;

use miniz_oxide::inflate::decompress_to_vec;
use miniz_oxide::deflate::compress_to_vec;

fn roundtrip(data: &[u8]) {
    let compressed = compress_to_vec(data, 6);
    let decompressed = decompress_to_vec(decompressed.as_slice()).expect("Failed to decompress!");
}

lib.rs:

A pure rust replacement for the miniz DEFLATE/zlib encoder/decoder. The plan for this crate is to be used as a back-end for the flate2 crate and eventually remove the need to depend on a C library.

Usage

Simple compression/decompression:

use miniz_oxide::inflate::decompress_to_vec;
use miniz_oxide::deflate::compress_to_vec;

fn roundtrip(data: &[u8]) {
    let compressed = compress_to_vec(data, 6);
    let decompressed = decompress_to_vec(compressed.as_slice()).expect("Failed to decompress!");
#   let _ = decompressed;
}

# roundtrip(b"Test_data test data lalalal blabla");
