package java.util.zip;

This class provides support for general purpose decompression using the popular ZLIB compression library. The ZLIB compression library was initially developed as part of the PNG graphics standard and is not protected by patents. It is fully described in the specifications at the java.util.zip package description.

The following code fragment demonstrates a trivial compression and decompression of a string using Deflater and Inflater.

try {
    // Encode a String into bytes
    String inputString = "blahblahblah\u20AC\u20AC";
    byte[] input = inputString.getBytes("UTF-8");
    // Compress the bytes
    byte[] output = new byte[100];
    Deflater compresser = new Deflater();
    compresser.setInput(input);
    compresser.finish();
    int compressedDataLength = compresser.deflate(output);
    // Decompress the bytes
    Inflater decompresser = new Inflater();
    decompresser.setInput(output, 0, compressedDataLength);
    byte[] result = new byte[100];
    int resultLength = decompresser.inflate(result);
    decompresser.end();
    // Decode the bytes into a String
    String outputString = new String(result, 0, resultLength, "UTF-8");
} catch(java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException ex) {
    // handle
} catch (java.util.zip.DataFormatException ex) {
    // handle
}

Creates a new decompressor. If the parameter 'nowrap' is true then the ZLIB header and checksum fields will not be used. This provides compatibility with the compression format used by both GZIP and PKZIP.

Note: When using the 'nowrap' option it is also necessary to provide an extra "dummy" byte as input. This is required by the ZLIB native library in order to support certain optimizations.

Params:
  • nowrap – if true then support GZIP compatible compression

Uncompresses bytes into specified buffer. Returns actual number of bytes uncompressed.
