I am working on adapting some basic tools of mine to Pharo, and ran
into
a trick that use often: specifically, I use ZLib and Dolphin's ability
to package globals to store compressed text for scripts, "empty"
document files, etc. Then a small wrapper method uses ZLib to
uncompress the content of the global w/o having to store all of data
in
the method source. There are other solutions, but I do this
frequently
and need to pick a way to handle it.
At the most basic level, I found the compression stream and archives
categories, but am unclear on where to look. If I want to have a byte
array of data and "zip" or "unzip" it memory, is there a good entry
point? Would I use a stream or an archive?
Probably a stream.
But I'm not expert.
Please do not feel pressed
to do my browsing for me, but if somebody knows the answer, a class or
method name would be appreciated.
BTW, as further evidence of the accumulated effort, to check the
jargon
above, I just fired up an early 3.9 image that was handy, and the
differences are striking! Maybe I do want to lean on Damien for an
updated web image :)
