Exgzip Guide

For more advanced use cases like stream processing or custom compression levels, you can refer to the official documentation on HexDocs .

is an Elixir library that provides a simple wrapper around the standard Erlang :zlib module to handle Gzip compression and decompression. It is designed to offer a more "Elixir-native" interface for working with Gzip data, making it easier to integrate into modern Elixir projects. Key Features EXGzip

: Easily compress strings or binaries into Gzip format and decompress Gzip data back into its original form. For more advanced use cases like stream processing

: Clearer function names and standard Elixir error handling (e.g., returning :ok, data or :error, reason ). Key Features : Easily compress strings or binaries

While the underlying Erlang :zlib module is powerful, its API can be low-level and cumbersome for developers accustomed to Elixir's syntax. bridges this gap by providing:

: Reduces boilerplate code required to initialize and control zlib streams manually.
