lz-string

LZ-based compression algorithm for JavaScript

Files have changed locations and name since a recent release. The new release file is in libs/lz-string.min.js (or in libs/lz-string.js if you don't care for the minified version)

Sorry about the mess in other repos. This will not happen again.

If you are using one of the ports of lz-string to decode on the server what was encoded in the browser, you might want to use version 1.3.7 as the version 1.3.8 introduced a slight change in the encoding. While the JS versions are completely cross-compatible, the PHP, Go, ... versions might not be as forgiving.

$ npm install -g lz-string
$ lz-string input.js > output.txt

This lib has numerous ports to other languages, for server side processing, mostly. Here they are:

• Java: by Diogo Duailibe
• Java: by rufushuang, with base64 support and better performances
• C#: by Jawa-the-Hutt
• C#: by kreudom, another implementation in C#, more up to date
• PHP: by nullpunkt
• Python3: by eduardtomasek
• Another Python: by marcel-dancak
• Ruby by Altivi
• Go I helped a friend to write a Go implementation of the decompression algorithm
• Go Austin wrote the decompression part as well
• Go by daku10, another implementation supports multiple encoding formats and can be used as a CLI tool
• Elixir by Michael Shapiro
• C++/QT by AmiArt
• C++ by Andrey Krasnov, another implementation in C++11
• VB.NET by gsemac
• Salesforce Apex (Java like language): bilal did the port
• Kotlin: from Zen Liu
• Dart: from skipness
• Haxe: from markknol
• Rust: from adumbidiot
