Maven

For maven, the natives will import automatically by your system family and architecture.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.aayushatharva.brotli4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>brotli4j</artifactId>
    <version>1.17.0</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

For gradle, we have to write some logic to import native automatically. Of course, you can add native(s) as dependency manually also.

Kotlin DSL

import org.gradle.nativeplatform.platform.internal.DefaultNativePlatform
import org.gradle.nativeplatform.operatingsystem.OperatingSystem

    mavenCentral()

Usage

Loading native library:

Call Brotli4jLoader.ensureAvailability() in your application once before using Brotli4j. This will load Brotli4j native library automatically using automatic dependency resolution. However, its possible to load native library manually from custom path by specifying System Property "brotli4j.library.path".

Direct API

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Load the native library
        Brotli4jLoader.ensureAvailability();

        // Compress data and get output in byte array
        byte[] compressed = Encoder.compress("Meow".getBytes());

        // Decompress data and get output in DirectDecompress
        DirectDecompress directDecompress = Decoder.decompress(compressed); // or DirectDecompress.decompress(compressed);

        if (directDecompress.getResultStatus() == DecoderJNI.Status.DONE) {
            System.out.println("Decompression Successful: " + new String(directDecompress.getDecompressedData()));
        } else {
            System.out.println("Some Error Occurred While Decompressing");
        }
    }
}

Compressing a stream:

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Load the native library
        Brotli4jLoader.ensureAvailability();

        FileInputStream inFile = new FileInputStream(filePath);
        FileOutputStream outFile = new FileOutputStream(filePath + ".br");

        Encoder.Parameters params = new Encoder.Parameters().setQuality(4);

        BrotliOutputStream brotliOutputStream = new BrotliOutputStream(outFile, params);

        int read = inFile.read();
        while (read > -1) {
            brotliOutputStream.write(read);
            read = inFile.read();
        }

        // Close the BrotliOutputStream. This also closes the FileOutputStream.
        brotliOutputStream.close();
        inFile.close();
    }
}

Decompressing a stream:

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Load the native library
        Brotli4jLoader.ensureAvailability();

        FileInputStream inFile = new FileInputStream(filePath);
        FileOutputStream outFile = new FileOutputStream(decodedfilePath);

        BrotliInputStream brotliInputStream = new BrotliInputStream(inFile);

        int read = brotliInputStream.read();
        while (read > -1) {
            outFile.write(read);
            read = brotliInputStream.read();
        }

        // Close the BrotliInputStream. This also closes the FileInputStream.
        brotliInputStream.close();
        outFile.close();
    }
}
