# deflate-rs
An pure rust implementation of a [DEFLATE](http://www.gzip.org/zlib/rfc-deflate.html) encoder. Not a direct port, but does take some inspiration from [zlib](http://www.zlib.net/) and [zopfli](https://github.com/google/zopfli)(for huffman code length generation).
So far, in-memory deflate encoding (without [lazy matching](http://www.gzip.org/zlib/rfc-deflate.html#algorithm), and no zlib dictionary or gzip support yet) has been is implemented. No unsafe code has been used. Currently not very optimised.
# Usage:
```rust
let data = ...;
let compressed = deflate_bytes(&data);
```
