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
to download and install them:
npm install zlib
TESTS
