java.lang.Object | +--java.util.zip.Deflater
This class provides support for general purpose compression using the popular ZLIB compression library. The ZLIB compression library was initially developed as part of the PNG graphics standard and is not protected by patents. It is fully described in the specifications at the java.util.zip package description.
The following code fragment demonstrates a trivial compression and decompression of a string using Deflater and Inflater.
// Encode a String into bytes String inputString = "blahblahblah??"; byte[] input = inputString.getBytes("UTF-8"); // Compress the bytes byte[] output = new byte[100]; Deflater compresser = new Deflater(); compresser.setInput(input); compresser.finish(); int compressedDataLength = compresser.deflate(output); // Decompress the bytes Inflater decompresser = new Inflater(); decompresser.setInput(output, 0, compressedDataLength); byte[] result = new byte[100]; int resultLength = decompresser.inflate(result); decompresser.end(); // Decode the bytes into a String String outputString = new String(result, 0, resultLength, "UTF-8");

Field Summary | |
static int |
BEST_COMPRESSION
Compression level for best compression. |
static int |
BEST_SPEED
Compression level for fastest compression. |
static int |
DEFAULT_COMPRESSION
Default compression level. |
static int |
DEFAULT_STRATEGY
Default compression strategy. |
static int |
DEFLATED
Compression method for the deflate algorithm (the only one currently supported). |
static int |
FILTERED
Compression strategy best used for data consisting mostly of small values with a somewhat random distribution. |
static int |
HUFFMAN_ONLY
Compression strategy for Huffman coding only. |
static int |
NO_COMPRESSION
Compression level for no compression. |
Constructor Summary | |
Deflater()
Creates a new compressor with the default compression level. |
|
Deflater(int level)
Creates a new compressor using the specified compression level. |
|
Deflater(int level,
boolean nowrap)
Creates a new compressor using the specified compression level. |
Method Summary | |
int |
deflate(byte[] b)
Fills specified buffer with compressed data. |
int |
deflate(byte[] b,
int off,
int len)
Fills specified buffer with compressed data. |
void |
end()
Closes the compressor and discards any unprocessed input. |
protected void |
finalize()
Closes the compressor when garbage is collected. |
void |
finish()
When called, indicates that compression should end with the current contents of the input buffer. |
boolean |
finished()
Returns true if the end of the compressed data output stream has been reached. |
int |
getAdler()
Returns the ADLER-32 value of the uncompressed data. |
int |
getTotalIn()
Returns the total number of bytes input so far. |
int |
getTotalOut()
Returns the total number of bytes output so far. |
boolean |
needsInput()
Returns true if the input data buffer is empty and setInput() should be called in order to provide more input. |
void |
reset()
Resets deflater so that a new set of input data can be processed. |
void |
setDictionary(byte[] b)
Sets preset dictionary for compression. |
void |
setDictionary(byte[] b,
int off,
int len)
Sets preset dictionary for compression. |
void |
setInput(byte[] b)
Sets input data for compression. |
void |
setInput(byte[] b,
int off,
int len)
Sets input data for compression. |
void |
setLevel(int level)
Sets the current compression level to the specified value. |
void |
setStrategy(int strategy)
Sets the compression strategy to the specified value. |
