# tiny-inflate
|
|
|
|
This is a port of Joergen Ibsen's [tiny inflate](https://bitbucket.org/jibsen/tinf) to JavaScript.
|
|
Minified it is about 3KB, or 1.3KB gzipped. While being very small, it is also reasonably fast
|
|
(about 30% - 50% slower than [pako](https://github.com/nodeca/pako) on average), and should be
|
|
good enough for many applications. If you need the absolute best performance, however, you'll
|
|
need to use a larger library such as pako that contains additional optimizations.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
npm install tiny-inflate
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
To use tiny-inflate, you need two things: a buffer of data compressed with deflate,
|
|
and the decompressed size (often stored in a file header) to allocate your output buffer.
|
|
Input and output buffers can be either node `Buffer`s, or `Uint8Array`s.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var inflate = require('tiny-inflate');
|
|
|
|
var compressedBuffer = new Bufer([ ... ]);
|
|
var decompressedSize = ...;
|
|
var outputBuffer = new Buffer(decompressedSize);
|
|
|
|
inflate(compressedBuffer, outputBuffer);
|
|
```
