miniz_oxide

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:

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!");
}
