(Objective-C) Compress and Decompress Hex StringImagine we have data represented as a hex string. This example demonstrates how to decode, compress, and re-encode to a smaller hex string representing the compressed data. An even better choice is to re-encode to a more compact encoding such as base64. Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or greater.
