Brotli is a Ruby implementation of the Brotli generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'brotli'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install brotli
require 'brotli'
compressed = Brotli.deflate(string)
decompressed = Brotli.inflate(compressed)
See test/brotli_test.rb
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install bundle and Brotli C library dependencies.
Run rake build
to build brotli extension for ruby. Then, run rake spec
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
