# flate2
[](https://crates.io/crates/flate2)
[](https://docs.rs/flate2)
A streaming compression/decompression library DEFLATE-based streams in Rust.
This crate by default uses the `miniz_oxide` crate, a port of `miniz.c` to pure
Rust. This crate also supports other [backends](#Backends), such as the widely
available zlib library or the high-performance zlib-ng library.
Supported formats:
* deflate
* zlib
* gzip
```toml
# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
flate2 = "1.0"
```
## Compression
```rust
use std::io::prelude::*;
use flate2::Compression;
use flate2::write::ZlibEncoder;
fn main() {
let mut e = ZlibEncoder::new(Vec::new(), Compression::default());
e.write_all(b"foo");
e.write_all(b"bar");
let compressed_bytes = e.finish();
}
```
## Decompression
```rust,no_run
use std::io::prelude::*;
use flate2::read::GzDecoder;
fn main() {
let mut d = GzDecoder::new("...".as_bytes());
let mut s = String::new();
d.read_to_string(&mut s).unwrap();
println!("{}", s);
}
```
## Backends
The default `miniz_oxide` backend has the advantage of being pure Rust. If you
want maximum performance, you can use the zlib-ng C library:
```toml
[dependencies]
flate2 = { version = "1.0.17", features = ["zlib-ng"], default-features = false }
```
Note that the `"zlib-ng"` feature works even if some other part of your crate
graph depends on zlib.
However, if you're already using another C or Rust library that depends on
zlib, and you want to avoid including both zlib and zlib-ng, you can use that
for Rust code as well:
```toml
[dependencies]
flate2 = { version = "1.0.17", features = ["zlib"], default-features = false }
```
Or, if you have C or Rust code that depends on zlib and you want to use zlib-ng
via libz-sys in zlib-compat mode, use:
```toml
[dependencies]
flate2 = { version = "1.0.17", features = ["zlib-ng-compat"], default-features = false }
```
Note that when using the `"zlib-ng-compat"` feature, if any crate in your
dependency graph explicitly requests stock zlib, or uses libz-sys directly
without `default-features = false`, you'll get stock zlib rather than zlib-ng.
See [the libz-sys
README](https://github.com/rust-lang/libz-sys/blob/main/README.md) for details.
To avoid that, use the `"zlib-ng"` feature instead.
For compatibility with previous versions of `flate2`, the Cloudflare optimized
version of zlib is available, via the `cloudflare_zlib` feature. It's not as
fast as zlib-ng, but it's faster than stock zlib. It requires an x86-64 CPU with
SSE 4.2 or ARM64 with NEON & CRC. It does not support 32-bit CPUs at all and is
incompatible with mingw. For more information check the [crate
documentation](https://crates.io/crates/cloudflare-zlib-sys). Note that
`cloudflare_zlib` will cause breakage if any other crate in your crate graph
uses another version of zlib/libz.
