bzip2-wasm

(de)compress buffers in node and browser using wasm-compiled bzip2.

install

$ npm install bzip2-wasm

example

import BZip2 from "wasm-bzip2";
import fs from 'fs';

const bzip2 = new BZip2();

await bzip2.init();

const licenseText = fs.readFileSync('./LICENSE');
console.log('original length:', licenseText.length);

const compressed = bzip2.compress(licenseText);
console.log('compressed length:', compressed.length);

const decompressed = bzip2.decompress(compressed, licenseText.length);
console.log('decompressed length:', decompressed.length);

api

bzip2 = new BZip2()

async bzip2.init()

fetch and load the wasm. required for following methods.

bzip2.compress(decompressed, blockSize = 5, compressedSize = decompressed.length)

compress an array of bytes.

decompressed should be array-like (TypedArray or regular) of bytes.

blockSize should be a Number between 1-9 to determine block size (multiplied by 100k). default is 5 (500k).

compressedLength should be a Number that is at least large or larger than the resulting compressed data. default is decompressed.length.

returns a Uint8Array of compressed data.

bzip2.decompress(compressed = [], decompressedLength = 0)

decompress a compressed array of bytes.

compressed should be array-like (TypedArray or regular) of bytes.

decompressedLength should be a Number that is at least large or larger than the resulting decompressed data.

returns a Uint8Array of decompressed data.
