Ungzip Base64 String

See more Gzip Examples

Suppose you have a gzip in base64 representation that contains a text file, such as XML. This example shows how to decompress and access the string. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

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

gzip = chilkat.CkGzip()

gzipBase64 = "H4sIAAAAAAAE ... X6aZjXO3EwAA"

bd = chilkat.CkBinData()
success = bd.AppendEncoded(gzipBase64,"base64")

success = gzip.UncompressBd(bd)
if (success != True):
    print(gzip.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

strXml = bd.getString("utf-8")
print("XML:")
print(strXml)
