lzfjs

Compress and decompress data using LZF with no native dependencies. Naively ported directly from liblzf, specfically lzf_c.c and lzf_d.c by Marc Alexander Lehmann. If pure JS is not important to you, use the lzf npm package.

This module can be used in a browser or in Node.

Compress data

var lzf = require('lzfjs');
var data = new Buffer('Hello world');
console.log(lzf.compress(data).toString('base64')); // "CkhlbGxvIHdvcmxk"

Decompress data

var lzf = require('lzfjs');
var data = new Buffer('CkhlbGxvIHdvcmxk', 'base64');
console.log(lzf.decompress(data).toString('utf8')); // "Hello world"

Use in browser

Instead of passing a node Buffer to compress and decompress, pass in a TypedArray like a Uint8Array, or pass in an ArrayBuffer. The functions will return a Uint8Array.
