# minizlib
|
||
|
|
||
|
A fast zlib stream built on [minipass](http://npm.im/minipass) and
|
||
|
Node.js's zlib binding.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This module was created to serve the needs of
|
||
|
[node-tar](http://npm.im/tar) and
|
||
|
[minipass-fetch](http://npm.im/minipass-fetch).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Brotli is supported in versions of node with a Brotli binding.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## How does this differ from the streams in `require('zlib')`?
|
||
|
|
||
|
First, there are no convenience methods to compress or decompress a
|
||
|
buffer. If you want those, use the built-in `zlib` module. This is
|
||
|
only streams. That being said, Minipass streams to make it fairly easy to
|
||
|
use as one-liners: `new zlib.Deflate().end(data).read()` will return the
|
||
|
deflate compressed result.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This module compresses and decompresses the data as fast as you feed
|
||
|
it in. It is synchronous, and runs on the main process thread. Zlib
|
||
|
and Brotli operations can be high CPU, but they're very fast, and doing it
|
||
|
this way means much less bookkeeping and artificial deferral.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Node's built in zlib streams are built on top of `stream.Transform`.
|
||
|
They do the maximally safe thing with respect to consistent
|
||
|
asynchrony, buffering, and backpressure.
|
||
|
|
||
|
See [Minipass](http://npm.im/minipass) for more on the differences between
|
||
|
Node.js core streams and Minipass streams, and the convenience methods
|
||
|
provided by that class.
