NAME
IO::Compress::Brotli - Write Brotli buffers/streams
SYNOPSIS
use IO::Compress::Brotli;
# compress a buffer
my $encoded = bro $encoded;
# compress a stream
my $bro = IO::Compress::Brotli->create;
while(have_input()) {
my $block = get_input_block();
my $encoded_block = $bro->compress($block);
handle_output_block($encoded_block);
}
# Need to finish the steam
handle_output_block($bro->finish());
DESCRIPTION
IO::Compress::Brotli is a module that compressed Brotli buffers and
streams. Despite its name, it is not a subclass of IO::Compress::Base
and does not implement its interface. This will be rectified in a future
release.
One-shot interface
If you have the whole buffer in a Perl scalar use the bro function.
bro($input)
Takes a whole uncompressed buffer as input and returns the
compressed data.
Exported by default.
Streaming interface
If you want to process the data in blocks use the object oriented
interface. The available methods are:
IO::Compress::Brotli->create
Returns a IO::Compress::Brotli instance. Please note that a single
instance cannot be used to decompress multiple streams.
$bro->window($window)
Sets the window parameter on the brotli encoder. Defaults to
BROTLI_DEFAULT_WINDOW (22).
$bro->quality($quality)
Sets the quality paremeter on the brotli encoder. Defaults to
BROTLI_DEFAULT_QUALITY (11).
$bro->mode($mode)
Sets the brotli encoder mode, which can be any of "generic", "text"
or "font". Defaults to "generic".
$bro->compress($block)
Takes the a block of uncompressed data and returns a block of
compressed data. Dies on error.
$bro->flush()
Flushes any pending output from the encoder.
$bro->finish()
Tells the encoder to start the finish operation, and flushes any
remaining compressed output.
Once finish is called, the encoder cannot be used to compress any
more content.
NOTE: Calling finish is required, or the output might remain
unflushed, and the be missing termination marks.
