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, such as the widely
available zlib library or the high-performance zlib-ng library.
Supported formats:
- deflate
- zlib
- gzip
# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
flate2 = "1.0"This crate supports the current stable and the last stable for the latest version. For example, if the current stable is 1.64, this crate supports 1.64 and 1.63. Older stables may work, but we don't guarantee these will continue to work.
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();
}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);
}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:
[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:
[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:
[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 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. Note that
cloudflare_zlib will cause breakage if any other crate in your crate graph
uses another version of zlib/libz.
