Aoxe.XZ 2025.1.0

Aoxe.Compression

English | 简体中文

Provide an easy way to use compressions. These packages support the wraps and extensions for compressors. It is also the compressor provider for all Aoxe technology stacks like configuration, cache, queue, rpc, etc.

1. Why use Aoxe.Compression?

There are many compressors in the .NET ecosystem, but they are not easy to use. Aoxe.Compression provides a unified interface / helper / extensions for all compressors, and it is also the compressor provider for all Aoxe technology stacks.

The compressors that Aoxe.Compression supports are as follows:

2. How to use Aoxe.Compression?

2.1. Install

You can install the package which you want on nuget

dotnet add package Aoxe.Brotli
dotnet add package Aoxe.LZ4
dotnet add package Aoxe.LZMA
dotnet add package Aoxe.SharpZipLib
dotnet add package Aoxe.Snappy
dotnet add package Aoxe.SystemIoCompression
dotnet add package Aoxe.XZ
dotnet add package Aoxe.Zstd

2.2. Compress (use extension method)

var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Hello World");

var brotliBytes = bytes.ToBrotli();
var bzipBytes = bytes.ToBZip();
var gzipBytes = bytes.ToGZip();
var lz4Bytes = bytes.ToLz4();
var lzmaBytes = bytes.ToLzma();
var xzBytes = bytes.ToXz();
var zstdBytes = bytes.ToZstd();

2.3. Decompress (use extension method)

var brotliDecompressBytes = brotliBytes.UnBrotli();
var bzipDecompressBytes = bzipBytes.UnBZip();
var gzipDecompressBytes = gzipBytes.UnGZip();
var lz4DecompressBytes = lz4Bytes.UnLz4();
var lzmaDecompressBytes = lzmaBytes.UnLzma();
var xzDecompressBytes = xzBytes.UnXz();
var zstdDecompressBytes = zstdBytes.UnZstd();

2.4. Compress with stream

var memoryStream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Hello World"));

var brotliStream = memoryStream.ToBrotli();
var bzipStream = memoryStream.ToBZip();
var gzipStream = memoryStream.ToGZip();
var lz4Stream = memoryStream.ToLz4();
var lzmaStream = memoryStream.ToLzma();
var xzStream = memoryStream.ToXz();
var zstdStream = memoryStream.ToZstd();

2.5. Decompress with stream

var brotliDecompressStream = brotliStream.UnBrotli();
var bzipDecompressStream = bzipStream.UnBZip();
var gzipDecompressStream = gzipStream.UnGZip();
var lz4DecompressStream = lz4Stream.UnLz4();
var lzmaDecompressStream = lzmaStream.UnLzma();
var xzDecompressStream = xzStream.UnXz();
var zstdDecompressStream = zstdStream.UnZstd();

2.6. IComepressor

Also you can use the interface IComepressor to compress and decompress. All Aoxe compressors implement this interface.

// Inject (ICompressor compressor)
var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Hello World");
var compressedBytes = compressor.Compress(bytes);
var decompressedBytes = compressor.Decompress(compressedBytes);

// Or use with stream
var memoryStream = new MemoryStream(bytes);
var compressedStream = compressor.Compress(memoryStream);
var decompressedStream = compressor.Decompress(compressedStream);

// You can use stream out of the box
var compressedStream = new MemoryStream();
compressor.Compress(memoryStream, compressedStream);
var decompressedStream = new MemoryStream();
compressor.Decompress(compressedStream, decompressedStream);

// Also the stream functions support async mode
