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. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

gzip = Chilkat::CkGzip.new()

gzipBase64 = "H4sIAAAAAAAE ... X6aZjXO3EwAA"

bd = Chilkat::CkBinData.new()
success = bd.AppendEncoded(gzipBase64,"base64")

success = gzip.UncompressBd(bd)
if (success != true)
    print gzip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

strXml = bd.getString("utf-8")
print "XML:" + "\n";
print strXml + "\n";
