dart_native_compression

LZ4

The lz4 in this library is a ffi binding to lz4 v1.9.3, the compressed block and frame format are both interoperable with official C api, as well as other interoperable ports, bindings and CLI tools.

Getting Started

import 'dart:ffi';
import 'package:dart_native_compression/dart_native_compression.dart';

final lz4 = Lz4Lib(lib: DynamicLibrary.open('libnative_compression.so'));
print('LZ4 version number: ${lz4.getVersioinNumber()}');

To compress data into a lz4 frame

final compressedFrame = lz4.compressFrame(data);

To decompress a lz4 frame with a single function

final decompressed = lz4.decompressFrame(compressedFrame);

To decompress a lz4 frame with stream api

await for (final decompressedChunk
    in lz4.decompressFrameStream(compressedStream)) {
    // Your logic here
}

To get more examples

Go to unit test

To run unit tests

pub get && pub run test

To build native lib (libnative_compression.so)

install rust

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

pull submodules

git submodule update --init --recursive

go to native_compression directory, run

cargo build --release --all-features

to cross compile to different target

cargo lipo --release --targets=aarch64-apple-ios,x86_64-apple-ios,armv7-apple-ios,armv7s-apple-ios
cargo build --target aarch64-linux-android --release
cargo build --target armv7-linux-androideabi --release
cargo build --target i686-linux-android --release

The shared library will be under target/release . It would be libdart_native_compression.so, dart_native_compression.dll, libdart_native_compression.dylib on linux, windows, osx respectively.
