Package Exports

@stdlib/assert-is-gzip-buffer
@stdlib/assert-is-gzip-buffer/lib/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/assert-is-gzip-buffer) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

isgzipBuffer

Test if a value is a gzip buffer.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/assert-is-gzip-buffer

Usage

var isgzipBuffer = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-gzip-buffer' );

isgzipBuffer( value )

Tests if a value is a gzip buffer.

var Uint8Array = require( '@stdlib/array-uint8' );

var buf = new Uint8Array( 20 );
buf[ 0 ] = 31;  // 0x1f => magic number
buf[ 1 ] = 139; // 0x8b
buf[ 2 ] = 8;   // 0x08 => compression method

var bool = isgzipBuffer( buf );
// returns true

bool = isgzipBuffer( [] );
// returns false

Notes

A gzip buffer is defined as either a Node.js Buffer or Uint8Array which contains a 10-byte header, a body containing the compressed payload, and an 8-byte footer containing a CRC-32 checksum and the length of the original uncompressed data, modulo 2^32.
This function only examines the 10-byte header to ensure the header includes the expected magic number and compression method. The function does not perform an integrity check.

Examples

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var Int8Array = require( '@stdlib/array-int8' );
var Int16Array = require( '@stdlib/array-int16' );
var Int32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-int32' );
var Uint8Array = require( '@stdlib/array-uint8' );
var Uint8ClampedArray = require( '@stdlib/array-uint8c' );
var Uint16Array = require( '@stdlib/array-uint16' );
var Uint32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-uint32' );
var isgzipBuffer = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-gzip-buffer' );

var buf = new Uint8Array( 20 );
buf[ 0 ] = 31;  // 0x1f => magic number
buf[ 1 ] = 139; // 0x8b
buf[ 2 ] = 8;   // 0x08 => compression method

var bool = isgzipBuffer( buf );
// returns true

bool = isgzipBuffer( new Float32Array( 20 ) );
// returns false

bool = isgzipBuffer( new Int8Array( 20 ) );
// returns false

bool = isgzipBuffer( new Uint8Array( 20 ) );
// returns false

bool = isgzipBuffer( new Uint8ClampedArray( 20 ) );
// returns false

bool = isgzipBuffer( new Int16Array( 20 ) );
// returns false

bool = isgzipBuffer( new Uint16Array( 20 ) );
// returns false

bool = isgzipBuffer( new Int32Array( 20 ) );
// returns false

bool = isgzipBuffer( new Uint32Array( 20 ) );
// returns false

bool = isgzipBuffer( new Float64Array( 20 ) );
// returns false

bool = isgzipBuffer( new Array( 20 ) );
// returns false

bool = isgzipBuffer( {} );
// returns false

bool = isgzipBuffer( null );
// returns false

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
