# NAME
|
|
|
|
node-zlib - Simple, synchronous deflate/inflate for node.js buffers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# USAGE
|
|
|
|
Install with `npm install zlib`.
|
|
|
|
var Buffer = require('buffer').Buffer;
|
|
var zlib = require('zlib');
|
|
|
|
var input = new Buffer('lorem ipsum dolor sit amet');
|
|
var compressed = zlib.deflate(input);
|
|
var output = zlib.inflate(compressed);
|
|
|
|
Note that `node-zlib` is only intended for small (< 128 KB) data that you already have buffered. It is not meant for input/output streams.
|
|
|
|
# BUILDING
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have `zlib` installed. Mac OS X ships with it by default.
|
|
|
|
To obtain and build the bindings:
|
|
|
|
git clone git://github.com/kkaefer/node-zlib.git
|
|
cd node-zlib
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
You can also use [`npm`](https://github.com/isaacs/npm) to download and install them:
|
|
|
|
npm install zlib
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
