Description

Compresses a given string Str using the Zlib compression library. An encoding is often used to convert the compressed data to a "readable" format. A ZLib compressed string can be decompressed with ZLibDecompress.

Example

var
  Str, Compressed, Encoded: AnsiString;

begin
  Str := 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur a dipiscing elit. Duis male' +

  WriteLn('Original length: ' + IntToStr(Length(Str)));
  Compressed := ZLibCompress(Str);
  WriteLn('Length after compression: ' + IntToStr(Length(Compressed)));
  Encoded := StrToBase64(Compressed);
  WriteLn('Length after compression and encoding: ' + IntToStr(Length(Encoded)));
end.

Output:

Original length: 1598
Length after compression: 752
Length after compression and encoding: 1004
