    <version>1.4.1</version>

Supported Platforms:

Windows 64-Bit

Loading native library:

Call Brotli4jLoader.ensureAvailability() in your application once before using Brotli4j.

Examples

Direct API

        // Load the native library
        Brotli4jLoader.ensureAvailability();

        // Compress data and get output in byte array
        byte[] compressed = Encoder.compress("Meow".getBytes());

        // Decompress data and get output in DirectDecompress
        DirectDecompress directDecompress = Decoder.decompress(compressed); // or DirectDecompress.decompress(compressed);

        if (directDecompress.getResultStatus() == DecoderJNI.Status.DONE) {
            System.out.println("Decompression Successful: " + new String(directDecompress.getDecompressedData()));
        } else {
            System.out.println("Some Error Occurred While Decompressing");
        }

Compressing a stream:

        // Load the native library
        Brotli4jLoader.ensureAvailability();

        FileInputStream inFile = new FileInputStream(filePath);
        FileOutputStream outFile = new FileOutputStream(filePath + ".br");

        Encoder.Parameters params = new Encoder.Parameters().setQuality(4);
        
        BrotliOutputStream brotliOutputStream = new BrotliOutputStream(outFile, params);

        int read = inFile.read();
        while(read > -1) {
            brotliOutputStream.write(read);
            read = inFile.read();
        }

        // Close the BrotliOutputStream. This also closes the FileOutputStream.
        brotliOutputStream.close();
        inFile.close();

Decompressing a stream:

        // Load the native library
        Brotli4jLoader.ensureAvailability();

        FileInputStream inFile = new FileInputStream(filePath);
        FileOutputStream outFile = new FileOutputStream(decodedfilePath);

        BrotliInputStream brotliInputStream = new BrotliInputStream(inFile);

        int read = brotliInputStream.read();
        while(read > -1) {
            outFile.write(read);
            read = brotliInputStream.read();
        }

        // Close the BrotliInputStream. This also closes the FileInputStream.
        brotliInputStream.close();
        outFile.close();
