A Kotlin LZFSE capable decoder. This code base is a Kotlin adaptation of the RagingMoose Java LZFSE decoder, with some small optimizations applied. That codebase has been designed from the ground up as and barring constants/ tables and a few core routines, has little in the way of resemblance to the source material.
The raison d'être of kotlin-lzfse-decode is it's ease of integration into Java projects without the use of external dependencies/ interfacing.
For command line usage or increased performance on large datasets, I would suggest using the reference lzfse compressor.
Create an instance of LZFSEInputStream and consume/ close as an InputStream.
The constructor accepts a ReadableByteChannel or an InputStream.
A simple example that decodes and prints the contents of an LZFSE compressed text archive. LZFSEExceptions signify errors in the underlying data format.
Below is a Kotlin example:
try {
Files.newByteChannel(Paths.get("my.lzfse.compressed.text.file")).use { channel ->
val data = LZFSEInputStream(channel).use { it.readAllBytes() }
println(data.toString(Charsets.UTF_8))
}
} catch (ex: LZFSEException) {
println("Bad LZFSE archive: $path")
} catch (ex: IOException) {
println("IOException: $ex")
}And here is a Java example:
Path path = Paths.get("my.lzfse.compressed.text.file"); // your LZFSE compressed text file here
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
try (LZFSEInputStream is = new LZFSEInputStream(Files.newByteChannel(path));
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream()) {
int nRead;
while ((nRead = is.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) != -1) {
baos.write(buffer, 0, nRead);
}
System.out.println(baos.toString("UTF-8"));
} catch (LZFSEException ex) {
System.err.println("Bad LZFSE archive: " + path);
} catch (IOException ex) {
System.err.println("IOException: " + ex.toString());
