Usage
var inflateRaw = var inflateRawStream = someCompressedStream var inflateRawWorker =
In the browser, the main inflate-raw
entry point is blocking, so if you inflate a very large buffer the browser may hang. You can use inflate-raw/worker
instead which has the same API, but offloads the inflating to a Web Worker. Note that you cannot use compressedBuffer
while inflation is in progress, because it is moved into the worker rather than copied. If you need to use the compressedBuffer
, manually copy it first. After inflation, the compressedBuffer
is moved back to the main thread, so you can use it again.
The inflate-raw/stream
API is also synchronous but if the data comes streaming in in small chunks it will not noticeably lag the browser. It exposes a node-style stream transform interface.
