=============

A streaming compression / gzip module for node.js

To install, ensure that you have libz installed, and run:

node-waf configure 

node-waf build

This will put the compress.node binary module in build/default. 

Quick example

-------------

var compress=require("./compress");

var sys=require("sys");

var posix=require("posix");

// Create gzip stream

var gzip=new compress.Gzip;

gzip.init();

// Pump data to be compressed

var gzdata1 = gzip.deflate("My data that needs ", "binary"); 

sys.puts("Compressed size : "+gzdata1.length);

var gzdata2 = gzip.deflate("to be compressed. 01234567890.", "binary"); 

sys.puts("Compressed size : "+gzdata2.length);

var gzdata3 = gzip.end();

sys.puts("Last bit : "+gzdata3.length);

// Normally stream this out as its generated, but just print here

var gzdata = gzdata1+gzdata2+gzdata3;

sys.puts("Total compressed size : "+gzdata.length);
