pako - zlib port to javascript, very fast!
==========================================
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/nodeca/pako.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/nodeca/pako)
__Why pako is cool:__
- Almost as fast in modern browsers as C implementation (see benchmarks)
- Works in browser
- Modular - you can browserify any separate component
- Both Sync & streamable interfaces (streamable is for big blobs)
- It's fresh - ports the latest zlib version (now 1.2.8)
- Tested - result is binary equal to zlib's one
- No restrictions - MIT licence
__Benchmarks:__
```
node v0.11, 10mb sample:
deflate-gildas x 2.82 ops/sec ±1.21% (11 runs sampled)
deflate-imaya x 2.25 ops/sec ±0.59% (9 runs sampled)
! deflate-pako x 6.09 ops/sec ±0.98% (19 runs sampled)
deflate-zlib x 9.13 ops/sec ±0.92% (46 runs sampled)
node v0.11, 10mb sample:
deflate-gildas x 3.39 ops/sec ±6.58% (12 runs sampled)
deflate-imaya x 2.14 ops/sec ±4.29% (9 runs sampled)
! deflate-pako x 6.61 ops/sec ±0.66% (20 runs sampled)
deflate-zlib x 9.28 ops/sec ±1.98% (47 runs sampled)
```
__Install:__
node.js:
```
npm install pako
```
browser:
```
bower install pako
```
Example & API
-------------
```javascript
var pako = require('pako');
//
// Deflate
//
var input = new Uint8Array();
//... fill input data here
var output = pako.deflate(input);
//
// Inflate
//
var compressed = new Uint8Array();
//... fill data to uncompress here
var result = pako.inflate(compressed);
if (result.err) {
console.log(result.err, result.msg);
}
var uncompressed = result.data;
```
See docs for full API specs.
Notes
-----
Since pako was done mostly for browser, some specific functions were left unported.
deflate:
- writing custom gzip headers (default is ok)
- `deflateSetDictionary`, `deflateParams`, `deflateSetHeader`, `deflateBound`, `deflatePending`
inflate:
TBD
We will probably provide more modular design, to keep significant part of code reasonably small.
