Pako won't work in ie8

[avivgiladi]

When I try to deflate a simple object (copied it from the example) it return empty string. When I try it in new browsers it works just fine. This are the lines.

var test = { my: 'super', puper: [456, 567], awesome: 'pako' };

var binaryString = pako.deflate(JSON.stringify(test), { to: 'string' }

Did you loaded es5-shim (and may be es5-sham) ? Pako should work in IE8.

Thanks for the response.
I didn't. must I use it? if so, should I just load it?
i'm using pako for js (not node).

Currently nobody writes in es3, all prefer to use ecmascript 5 at least. es5 polyfills are essential things for all who care about ancient browsers support. If you need to run code in < IE9, you must load es5-shim/sham regardless of package you use.

https://stuk.github.io/jszip/ see browsers support, jszip uses pako under the hood

Thanks. Somehow still with this library deflate won't work for me. When I
use another library for deflating it works just fine in ie8.

No problem.

It still not working... even with this libraries

[puzrin]

I beleive, but i have not enougth info to help, and no ie8 to debug, sorry. Try to create test repo with example (with all necessary files to open in browser), I'll take a look later.

pako tests are passing from IE6+ and without shims. I think, problem is not related to this library.
