Gzip Compress In Memory and Base64 Encode

See more Gzip Examples

Demonstrates how to Gzip compress in-memory data and then encode the compressed data to base64. Rust

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

let gzip = chilkat::Gzip::new();

// This example will load a file into the fileData object.
// Your application might load fileData from other sources..
let file_data = chilkat::BinData::new();
if file_data.load_file("qa_data/xml/hamlet.xml").is_err() {
    println!("Failed to load file.");
    return;
}

// In-place compress the contents of fileData
if gzip.compress_bd(&file_data).is_err() {
    println!("{}", gzip.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Get the base64 encoded compressed data (in a single line).
let str_base64 = file_data.get_encoded("base64").unwrap_or_default();
println!("{}", str_base64);
println!("--------");

// To get the base64 in multiple lines, as it might appear in MIME,
// use "base64-mime".
let str_base64_multi_line = file_data.get_encoded("base64-mime").unwrap_or_default();
println!("{}", str_base64_multi_line);
