: It follows standard library guidelines for naming and documentation, ensuring it feels consistent with other packages in the Hex ecosystem . Getting Started
: Reduces boilerplate code required to initialize and control zlib streams manually.
: Designed to work seamlessly with Elixir's pipe operator ( |> ), allowing for clean and readable data processing pipelines. EXGzip
is an Elixir library that provides a simple wrapper around the standard Erlang :zlib module to handle Gzip compression and decompression. It is designed to offer a more "Elixir-native" interface for working with Gzip data, making it easier to integrate into modern Elixir projects. Key Features
While the underlying Erlang :zlib module is powerful, its API can be low-level and cumbersome for developers accustomed to Elixir's syntax. bridges this gap by providing: : It follows standard library guidelines for naming
You can add it to your project by including it in your mix.exs dependencies: defp deps do [ :ex_gzip, "~> 0.1.0" ] end Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard Once installed, you can perform basic operations: : EXGzip.compress("your data") Decompressing : EXGzip.decompress(compressed_binary)
