(Go) Gzip Compress In Memory and Base64 Encode

Demonstrates how to Gzip compress in-memory data and then encode the compressed data to base64.

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    gzip := chilkat.NewGzip()

    // This example will load a file into the fileData object.
    // Your application might load fileData from other sources..
    fileData := chilkat.NewBinData()
    success := fileData.LoadFile("qa_data/xml/hamlet.xml")
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println("Failed to load file.")
        gzip.DisposeGzip()
        fileData.DisposeBinData()
        return
    }

    // In-place compress the contents of fileData
    success = gzip.CompressBd(fileData)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(gzip.LastErrorText())
        gzip.DisposeGzip()
        fileData.DisposeBinData()

    // Get the base64 encoded compressed data (in a single line).
    strBase64 := fileData.GetEncoded("base64")
    fmt.Println(*strBase64)
    fmt.Println("--------")

    // To get the base64 in multiple lines, as it might appear in MIME,
    // use "base64-mime".
    strBase64MultiLine := fileData.GetEncoded("base64-mime")
    fmt.Println(*strBase64MultiLine)
