|
||
|
|
||
|
A streaming compression/decompression library DEFLATE-based streams in Rust.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This crate by default uses the `miniz_oxide` crate, a port of `miniz.c` to pure
|
||
|
Rust. This crate also supports other [backends](#Backends), such as the widely
|
||
|
available zlib library or the high-performance zlib-ng library.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Supported formats:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* deflate
|
||
|
* zlib
|
||
|
* gzip
|
||
|
|
||
|
```toml
|
||
|
# Cargo.toml
|
||
|
[dependencies]
|
||
|
flate2 = "1.0"
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## 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.write_all(b"foo");
|
||
|
e.write_all(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("...".as_bytes());
|
||
|
let mut s = String::new();
|
||
|
d.read_to_string(&mut s).unwrap();
|
||
|
println!("{}", s);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Backends
|
||
|
|
||
|
The default `miniz_oxide` backend has the advantage of being pure Rust. If you
|
||
|
want maximum performance, you can use the zlib-ng C library:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```toml
|
||
|
[dependencies]
|
||
|
flate2 = { version = "1.0.17", features = ["zlib-ng"], default-features = false }
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that the `"zlib-ng"` feature works even if some other part of your crate
|
||
|
graph depends on zlib.
|
||
|
|
||
|
However, if you're already using another C or Rust library that depends on
|
||
|
zlib, and you want to avoid including both zlib and zlib-ng, you can use that
|
||
|
for Rust code as well:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```toml
|
||
|
[dependencies]
|
||
|
flate2 = { version = "1.0.17", features = ["zlib"], default-features = false }
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Or, if you have C or Rust code that depends on zlib and you want to use zlib-ng
|
||
|
via libz-sys in zlib-compat mode, use:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```toml
|
||
|
[dependencies]
|
||
|
flate2 = { version = "1.0.17", features = ["zlib-ng-compat"], default-features = false }
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that when using the `"zlib-ng-compat"` feature, if any crate in your
|
||
|
dependency graph explicitly requests stock zlib, or uses libz-sys directly
|
||
|
without `default-features = false`, you'll get stock zlib rather than zlib-ng.
|
||
|
See [the libz-sys
|
||
|
README](https://github.com/rust-lang/libz-sys/blob/main/README.md) for details.
|
||
|
To avoid that, use the `"zlib-ng"` feature instead.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For compatibility with previous versions of `flate2`, the Cloudflare optimized
|
||
|
version of zlib is available, via the `cloudflare_zlib` feature. It's not as
|
||
|
fast as zlib-ng, but it's faster than stock zlib. It requires an x86-64 CPU with
|
||
|
SSE 4.2 or ARM64 with NEON & CRC. It does not support 32-bit CPUs at all and is
|
||
|
incompatible with mingw. For more information check the [crate
|
||
|
documentation](https://crates.io/crates/cloudflare-zlib-sys). Note that
|
||
|
`cloudflare_zlib` will cause breakage if any other crate in your crate graph
|
||
|
uses another version of zlib/libz.
