The Compression functionality in the Windows API provides a flexible and efficient way to compress and decompress data. It includes support for various compression algorithms, allowing you to optimize data storage and transmission.
Compression Algorithms
The Compression functionality supports the following compression algorithms:
- LZX: A widely used lossless compression algorithm.
- ZLIB: A popular lossless compression algorithm based on DEFLATE.
- BZIP2: A more sophisticated lossless compression algorithm.
Compression Functions
The following compression functions are available:
- CompressLzx: Compresses data using the LZX algorithm.
- CompressZlib: Compresses data using the ZLIB algorithm.
- CompressBzip2: Compresses data using the BZIP2 algorithm.
- CompressPzip: Compresses data using the PZIP algorithm.
Decompression Functions
The following decompression functions are available:
- DecompressLzx: Decompresses data using the LZX algorithm.
- DecompressZlib: Decompresses data using the ZLIB algorithm.
- DecompressBzip2: Decompresses data using the BZIP2 algorithm.
- DecompressPzip: Decompresses data using the PZIP algorithm.
