flate2

Crates.io Documentation

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"

Compression

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();
}

Decompression

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);
}

Backends

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.
