Description

The following code shows how to do GZIP compress by GZIPOutputStream.

Example


//  ww w  . j  av  a  2  s.  c om
import java.io.BufferedOutputStream;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream;
import java.util.zip.GZIPOutputStream;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("Main.java"));
    BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new GZIPOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(
        "test.gz")));
    System.out.println("Writing file");
    int c;
    while ((c = in.read()) != -1)
      out.write(c);
    in.close();
    out.close();
    System.out.println("Reading file");
    BufferedReader in2 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new GZIPInputStream(
        new FileInputStream("test.gz"))));
    String s;
    while ((s = in2.readLine()) != null)
      System.out.println(s);
  }
}
