[](./LICENSE-APACHE)

A port of [lz-string](https://github.com/pieroxy/lz-string) to Rust.
### Installing
Add the following to your `Cargo.toml` file:
```toml
[dependencies]
lz-str = "0.1.0"
```
## Getting Started
```rust
// The demonstrated functions correspond with `LZString.compress` and `LZString.decompress` from the JS version.
fn main() {
let data = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
// Compress the data. This cannot fail.
let compressed_data = lz_str::compress(data);
// Decompress the data.
// This may return `Option::None` if it fails.
// Make sure to do error-checking in a real application to prevent crashes!
let decompressed_data =
lz_str::decompress(compressed_data).expect("`compressed_data` is invalid");
// The decompressed_data should be the same as data, except encoded as UTF16.
// We undo that here.
// In a real application,
// you will want to do error checking to prevent users from causing crashes with invalid data.
let decompressed_data =
String::from_utf16(&decompressed_data).expect("`decompressed_data` is not valid UTF16");
assert!(data == decompressed_data);
}
```
