zlib

zlib provides access to the functions in the zlib C library, using Rcpp.

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(zlib)

input_text <- "Some text to compress"

compressed_text <- zlib::compress(charToRaw(input_text))

decompressed_text <- rawToChar(zlib::decompress(compressed_text))

identical(input_text, decompressed_text)
#> [1] TRUE
