GZipCompression

GZipCompression is a C# library that provides a simple way to compress and decompress byte arrays using the GZip algorithm.

Installation

Copy the Compression.cs file into your C# project and add a reference to the System.IO.Compression namespace.

Usage

To use the GZipCompression library, you'll need to add the following using statement:

using GZipCompression;

Compress

To compress a byte array, use the Compress method:

byte[] data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("This is a sample string for testing GZipCompression.");
byte[] compressedData = Compression.Compress(data);

Decompress

To decompress a byte array, use the Decompress method:

byte[] decompressedData = Compression.Decompress(compressedData);
string decompressedString = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(decompressedData);

Error Handling

The Compress and Decompress methods use try-catch blocks to handle any exceptions that might occur during the compression and decompression processes. If an exception occurs, an error message will be printed to the console, and the methods will return null.

Unit Testing

Unit tests for the GZipCompression library can be found in the GZipCompressionTests namespace using the MSTest framework. The tests cover various scenarios, such as compressing and decompressing valid data, compressing null data, and decompressing invalid data.
