go-smaz is a pure Go implementation of antirez's smaz, a library for compressing short strings (particularly containing English words).
go get github.com/cespare/go-smaz
import (
"github.com/cespare/go-smaz"
)
func main() {
s := "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party."
compressed := smaz.Compress([]byte(s)) // type is []byte
decompressed, err := smaz.Decompress(compressed) // type is []byte; string(decompressed) == s
if err != nil {
...
}Also see the API documentation.
go-smaz is not a direct port of the C version. It is not guaranteed that the
output of smaz.Compress will be precisely the same as the C library. However,
the output should be decompressible by the C library, and the output of the C
library should be decompressible by smaz.Decompress.
