GZip Compress String

Compress and uncompress strings using the deflate algorithm. The underlying compression algorithm used by GZip is the deflate compression algorithm, which is also the most common algorithm used in the Zip file format (.zip). This method compresses a string by first converting it to the specified charset. This is necessary for programming languages where strings are represented as 2-byte/char Unicode. By indicating a charset, the size is already "comrpessed" by 50% (if the characters are an iso-8859 or windows-125* charset).

After charset conversion, the bytes are deflated. Finally, the resultant binary data is encoded according to the specified encoding ("base64", "hex", "url", "quoted-printable", etc.) and returned as a printable string. The most efficient encoding is Base64, which encodes 3 binary bytes in 4 printable characters.

Note: it only makes sense to compress strings that are long enough such that the expansion caused by (base64) encoding is relatively small.
