Struct CompressContext 

pub struct CompressContext { /* private fields */ }

Reusable compression context that amortizes hash table and buffer allocations.

Holds internal state (hash tables, output buffer, block encoder workspace) across calls. Useful when compressing many small inputs in a loop.

let mut ctx = zrip::CompressContext::new(1).unwrap();
for i in 0..10 {
    let data = format!("message {i}").repeat(100);
    let compressed = ctx.compress(data.as_bytes()).unwrap();
    assert!(compressed.len() < data.len());
}

Implementations

impl CompressContext

pub fn new(level: i32) -> Result<Self, CompressError>

Creates a new context for the given compression level (-7..=4).

pub fn with_dict(level: i32, dict: Dictionary) -> Result<Self, CompressError>

Creates a new context with a pre-loaded dictionary.

pub fn compress(&mut self, input: &[u8]) -> Result<Cow<'_, [u8]>, CompressError>

Compresses input using the context’s level and optional dictionary.

pub fn compress_with_dict( &mut self, input: &[u8], dict: &Dictionary, ) -> Result<Cow<'_, [u8]>, CompressError>

Compresses input using an ad-hoc dictionary (overrides the stored one).
