@mastashake08/zlib-urlsafe v1.0.3

zlib-urlsafe

Zlib compress/decompress + URL-safe Base64 encoding/decoding — all native in modern browsers, no external libs.

This package provides four functions:

1. decodeBase64UrlSafe(str)
2. encodeBase64UrlSafe(bytes)
3. compressZlibBase64UrlSafe(str)
4. decompressZlibBase64UrlSafe(str)

They rely on CompressionStream and DecompressionStream ('deflate' mode) to handle zlib data.

Installation

npm install @mastashake08/zlib-urlsafe

(You can publish to npm under your chosen package name.)

Usage

import {
  compressZlibBase64UrlSafe,
  decompressZlibBase64UrlSafe
} from '@mastashake08/zlib-urlsafe';

(async () => {
  const original = 'Hello, compress me!';
  
  // Compress
  const compressed = await compressZlibBase64UrlSafe(original);
  console.log('Compressed (URL-safe Base64):', compressed);
  
  // Decompress
  const result = await decompressZlibBase64UrlSafe(compressed);
  console.log('Decompressed result:', result); // "Hello, compress me!"
})();

encodeBase64UrlSafe / decodeBase64UrlSafe

If you only need to handle URL-safe Base64:

import {
  encodeBase64UrlSafe,
  decodeBase64UrlSafe
} from '@mastashake08/zlib-urlsafe';

const dataBytes = new Uint8Array([ 0x48, 0x69 ]); // "Hi"
const b64Url = encodeBase64UrlSafe(dataBytes); 
// e.g. "SGk" (no padding)

const decoded = decodeBase64UrlSafe(b64Url);
// Uint8Array([72, 105]) => "Hi"

Browser Compatibility

• Requires CompressionStream and DecompressionStream.
• Supported in Chrome 80+, Edge 79+, Safari 15.4+, Firefox 101+ (behind a flag).
• Node.js 19+ partially supports it behind experimental flags.
• Older browsers / Node versions: You need a polyfill or a library like pako.
