Explainer None Specification https://wicg.github.io/compression/ https://github.com/wicg/compression/pull/43 (spec PR) https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/3586945 (impl and tests) Summary Add a new compression format, "deflate-raw", to give web developers access to the raw deflate stream without any headers or footers. This is needed, for example, to read/write zip files. Blink component Blink>Network>StreamsAPI <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3ENetwork%3EStreamsAPI> TAG review This is subtle enough for a separate TAG review. TAG review status Not applicable RisksInteroperability and Compatibility This is a new addition and doesn’t change any existing behaviors. Gecko: No signal (See the bottom of https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/207 ) WebKit: No signal (See https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2022-May/032213.html) Web developers: Positive https://github.com/wicg/compression/issues/25 Google Sheets <http://sheets.google.com> Google sheets team uses zipping for conversion (client side) of google sheet into different formats such as xlsx. Browser native compression/decompression stream apis have much better performance than using any js library for zipping. With support for “deflate-raw” format, we are able to use compression/decompression stream apis for compression of files during zipping in a much simpler way compared to “gzip”, “deflate” format which required workarounds on our side. Other signals: WebView application risks None.
