ziparray provides utility functions for reading and writing Go slices as gzipped files and streams. Currently, a limited set of primitive slice types is supported: []float64, []int64, and []string.

Example of writing a []int64 slice named vec:

err := ziparray.WriteInt64Array(vec, "file.bin.gz")
if err != nil {
 	  panic(err)
}

Example of reading a []int64 slice named vec:

vec, err := ziparray.ReadInt64Array("file.bin.gz")
if err != nil {
 	  panic(err)
}

The data are read and written in native binary format without any meta-data. The user is responsible for ensuring that the data have the proper type.
