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. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let gzip = CkoGzip()!

    var gzipBase64: String? = "H4sIAAAAAAAE ... X6aZjXO3EwAA"

    let bd = CkoBinData()!
    success = bd.appendEncoded(encData: gzipBase64, encoding: "base64")

    success = gzip.uncompressBd(binDat: bd)
    if success != true {
        print("\(gzip.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    var strXml: String? = bd.getString(charset: "utf-8")
    print("XML:")
    print("\(strXml!)")

}
