miniz_oxide
A fully safe, pure rust replacement for the miniz DEFLATE/zlib encoder/decoder.
The main intention of this crate is to be used as a back-end for the flate2, but it can also be used on its own. Using flate2 with the rust_backend
feature provides an easy to use streaming API for miniz_oxide.
The library is fully no_std. By default, the with-alloc
feature is enabled, which requires the use of the alloc
and collection
crates as it allocates memory.
The std
feature additionally turns on things only available if no_std
is not used. Currently this only means implementing Error for the DecompressError
error struct returned by the simple decompression functions if enabled together with with-alloc
.
Using the library with default-features = false
removes the dependency on alloc
and collection
crates, making it suitable for systems without an allocator.
Running without allocation reduces crate functionality:
- The
deflate
module is removed completely - Some
inflate
functions which return aVec
are removed
miniz_oxide 0.5.x and 0.6.x Requires at least rust 1.40.0 0.3.x requires at least rust 0.36.0.
miniz_oxide features no use of unsafe code.
miniz_oxide can optionally be made to use a simd-accelerated version of adler32 via the simd-adler32 crate by enabling the 'simd' feature. This is not enabled by default as due to the use of simd intrinsics, the simd-adler32 has to use unsafe. The default setup uses the adler crate which features no unsafe code.
Usage
Simple compression/decompression:
use miniz_oxide::deflate::compress_to_vec;
use miniz_oxide::inflate::decompress_to_vec;
fn roundtrip(data: &[u8]) {
// Compress the input
let compressed = compress_to_vec(data, 6);
// Decompress the compressed input and limit max output size to avoid going out of memory on large/malformed input.
let decompressed = decompress_to_vec_with_limit(compressed.as_slice(), 60000).expect("Failed to decompress!");
// Check roundtrip succeeded
assert_eq!(data, decompressed);
}
fn main() {
roundtrip("Hello, world!".as_bytes());
}
These simple functions will do everything in one go and are thus not recommended for use cases outside of prototyping/testing as real world data can have any size and thus result in very large memory allocations for the output Vector. Consider using miniz_oxide via flate2 which makes it easy to do streaming (de)compression or the low-level streaming functions instead.
