wan24-Compression 1.15.0

wan24-Compression

This library exports a generic compression API, which allows to use any implemented compression algorithm to be applied using a simple interface:

// Compress memory
byte[] compressed = uncompressed.Compress();
uncompressed = compressed.Decompress();

// Compress a stream
uncompressedStream.Compress(compressedStream, new()
{
    LeaveOpen = true
});
uncompressedStream.SetLength(0);
compressedStream.Decompress(uncompressedStream);

The goals of this library are:

• Make a choice being a less torture
• Make a complex thing as easy as possible

Implementing (new) compression algorithms into (existing) code can be challenging. wan24-Compression tries to make it as easy as possible, while the API is still complex due to the huge number of options it offers.

NOTE: The compressed output of this library may include a header, which can't (yet) be interpreted by any third party vendor code. That means, a compressed output of this library can't be decompressed with a third party compression library, even this library implements standard compression algorithms.

Using this library for a compressed sequence which has to be exchanged with a third party application, which relies on working with standard compression algorithm output, is not recommended - it may not work!

Anyway, this library should be a good choice for isolated use within your application(s), if want to avoid a hussle with implementing newer compression algorithms.

How to get it
