Ungzip Base64 String

See more Gzip Examples

Suppose you have a gzip in base64 representation that contains a text file, such as XML. This example shows how to decompress and access the string. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local gzip = chilkat.Gzip.new()

local gzipBase64 = "H4sIAAAAAAAE ... X6aZjXO3EwAA"

local bd = chilkat.BinData.new()
local success = bd:append_encoded(gzipBase64, "base64")

success = gzip:uncompress_bd(bd)
if not success then
    print(gzip.last_error_text)
    return
end

local strXml = bd:get_string("utf-8")
print("XML:")
print(strXml)
