The zlib.gzipSync() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of the Zlib module which is used to compress a chunk of data with Gzip.
Syntax:
zlib.gzipSync( buffer, options )
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:
- buffer: This parameter holds the buffer of type Buffer, TypedArray, DataView, ArrayBuffer, and string.
- options: This parameter holds the value of the zlib option.
Return Value: It returns the chunk of data with Gzip.
The below examples illustrate the use of zlib.gzipSync() method in Node.js:
Example 1:
// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// zlib.gzipSync() method
// Including zlib module
const zlib = require('zlib');
// Declaring input and assigning
// it a value string
const input = "Nidhi";
// Calling brotliDecompressSync method
const gzi = zlib.gzipSync(input);
console.log(gzi);
Output:
<Buffer 1f 8b 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 f3 cb
4c c9 c8 04 00 13 f2 5b b1 05 00 00 00>
Example 2:
// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// zlib.gzipSync() method
// Including zlib module
const zlib = require('zlib');
// Declaring input and assigning
// it a value string
const input = "Nidhi";
// Calling brotliDecompressSync method
const gzi = zlib.gzipSync(input).toString('hex');
console.log(gzi);
Output:
1f8b0800000000000003f3cb4cc9c8040013f25bb105000000
