libbrotli.zig

libbrotli.zig vendors upstream libbrotli sources and exposes a Zig-first API plus the full raw C API.

Features

• Compiles libbrotli C sources with Zig (c/common, c/enc, c/dec)
• Typed Zig helpers: compress, compressDefault, decompress
• Streaming Zig helpers compatible with std.Io.Reader / std.Io.Writer
• Full raw API exposed under libbrotli.c
• Supports both libc modes:
  • static libc via ziglibc (default)
  • system libc via -Dstatic_libc=false

Build Options

• -Dstatic_libc=true|false (default true)
• -Dshared=true|false (default false)

Commands

zig build test
zig build test -Dstatic_libc=false
zig build example
zig build example -Dstatic_libc=false

Zig Usage

const libbrotli = @import("libbrotli");

const compressed = try libbrotli.compressDefault(allocator, input);
defer allocator.free(compressed);

const decompressed = try libbrotli.decompress(allocator, compressed, input.len * 4);
defer allocator.free(decompressed);

Streaming Usage

var reader = std.Io.Reader.fixed(input);
var compressed = try std.Io.Writer.Allocating.initCapacity(allocator, input.len + 64);
defer compressed.deinit();

try libbrotli.compressReaderToWriter(allocator, &reader, &compressed.writer, .{});
