ZipRebel is a file compression tool that is so powerful it can reduce the entire internet to less than a byte of data. Here's a more detailed announcement.
How to use it?
The easiest way is just to call the right method on the ZipRebel class, appropriately called "compress":
long result = new ZipRebel().compress(new byte[] { 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 });Alternatively, ZipRebel can work with Paths and either provide you with result on the Java code level, or conveniently write it to the filesystem near the original file.
Path original = Paths.get("/etc/passwd");
long result = new ZipRebel().compress(original);or
Path original = ...;
Path target = new ZipRebel().compressAndDump(original);
System.out.println(target.toAbsolutePath());Tests?
We have tested ZipRebel many times.
