Gzip

Overview

Gzip compresses data with gzip.

If you are coming from Node.js, the closest pattern is gzipSync.

Signature

func Gzip(data []byte) ([]byte, error)

Compare: Node.js · Standard Go · gox

Node.js

zlib.gzipSync(data);

Standard Go

// compress/gzip NewWriter / NewReader

gox

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/compress"

compressed, err := compress.Gzip(data)

Example

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/compress"

compressed, err := compress.Gzip(data)

Tips

Import github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/compress and call Gzip directly. See the comparison below for the standard library equivalent.

Standard library alternative

gox wraps the Go standard library or a trusted dependency with Node-familiar naming. You can use the underlying library directly — see the package overview for escape hatches.
