compress-kit

Reliable, Cross-Platform Compression & Decompression
for Web, Node.js, Deno, and Bun

About 📖

compress-kit is a modern compression toolkit for Web, Node.js, Deno, and Bun.
It offers a simple, consistent API for compressing and decompressing strings or objects, automatically deciding when compression is beneficial, while ensuring lossless results and type safety.

Features 🌟

• 📉 Strong Compression – Achieves size reductions of ~30% to 90% on typical text and JSON data using the Deflate algorithm via pako.
• 🧠 Smart Compression – Automatically detects whether to store data compressed or uncompressed for optimal efficiency.
• 🌐 Cross-Platform – Works seamlessly in Web, Node.js, Deno, and Bun with no code changes.
• 🔁 Lossless Algorithms – Ensures perfect reconstruction of the original data.
• 🧪 Strict Validation & Result<T> Typing – Unified return type and robust input checks for predictable results.

Installation 🔥

npm install compress-kit

💡 Works with npm, pnpm, yarn, bun, and deno. You can use it in dev dependencies since it's typically used only for local HTTPS.

Credit 💪🏽
