zlib port to javascript, very fast!
Why pako is cool:
This project was done to understand how fast JS can be and is it necessary to develop native C modules for CPU-intensive tasks. Enjoy the result!
Famous projects, using pako:

zlib's test is partially affected by marshalling (that make sense for inflate only). You can change deflate level to 0 in benchmark source, to investigate details. For deflate level 6 results can be considered as correct.
Install:
node.js:
npm install pako
browser:
bower install pako

var pako = require('pako');
// Deflate
//
var input = new Uint8Array();
//... fill input data here
var output = pako.deflate(input);
// Inflate (simple wrapper can throw exception on broken stream)
//
var compressed = new Uint8Array();
//... fill data to uncompress here
try {
var result = pako.inflate(compressed);
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
//
// Alternate interface for chunking & without exceptions
//
var inflator = new pako.Inflate();
inflator.push(chunk1, false);
inflator.push(chunk2, false);
...
inflator.push(chunkN, true); // true -> last chunk
if (inflator.err) {
console.log(inflator.msg);
}
var output = inflator.result;
Sometime you can wish to work with strings. For example, to send
big objects as json to server. Pako detects input data type. You can
force output to be string with option { to: 'string' }
.
var pako = require('pako');
var test = { my: 'super', puper: [456, 567], awesome: 'pako' };
var binaryString = pako.deflate(JSON.stringify(test), { to: 'string' });
//
// Here you can do base64 encode, make xhr requests and so on.
//
var restored = JSON.parse(pako.inflate(binaryString, { to: 'string' }));
