Crystal bindings to the Brotli compression library.

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     brotli:
       github: naqvis/brotli.cr
   

2. Run shards install

Usage

require "brotli"

brotli shard provides both Compress::Brotli::Reader and Compress::Brotli::Writer , as well as Compress::Brotli#decode and Compress::Brotli#encode methods for quick usage.

Refer to specs for sample usage.

Example: decompress an brotli file

require "brotli"

string = File.open("file.br") do |file|
   Compress::Brotli::Reader.open(file) do |brotli|
     brotli.gets_to_end
   end
end
pp string

Example: compress to brotli compression format

require "brotli"

File.write("file.txt", "abcd")

File.open("./file.txt", "r") do |input_file|
  File.open("./file.br", "w") do |output_file|
    Compress::Brotli::Writer.open(output_file) do |brotli|
      IO.copy(input_file, brotli)
    end
  end
end
