# zlib-browserify [](https://travis-ci.org/brianloveswords/zlib-browserify)
|
|
|
|
Zlib in yo' browser.
|
|
|
|
# What is this?
|
|
|
|
This is a very small wrapper for https://github.com/imaya/zlib.js. Fixes
|
|
some very minor API inconsistencies. Only implements `inflate`,
|
|
`deflate`, `gzip` and `gunzip` so if you're doing anything extra fancy
|
|
you're out of luck for now.
|
|
|
|
# Run tests
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ npm test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Test methodology (a.k.a, "why doesn't the output match node's zlib?")
|
|
|
|
(zlibA = native, zlibB = browserified)
|
|
|
|
Pretending these are sync, I do the following to test:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(zlibB.inflate(zlibA.deflate('test')) === "test");
|
|
assert(zlibA.inflate(zlibB.deflate('test')) === "test");
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and so on for each of the methods supported. Note, I do **not** do
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(zlibA.deflate('test') === zlibB.deflate('test'));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Because node's deflate and the imaya's version do not seem to use the
|
|
same defaults for compression level. I haven't figured out how to change
|
|
it yet. Anyway, rest assured, while `deflate` does not return the same
|
|
output, this is fully interoperable with node's native zlib.
