    Another operation that is sometimes desired is to take several files and give the user a compressed file. There are actually a surprisingly large amount (jszip, pako) of client side options here, but my favorite so far when it comes to speed, size and working with .zip has been fflate. But if you'd like to work with other formats, there are also libraries to decompress 7-Zip, RAR & TAR.
  • 5 Insane Features in my OS in the Browser!!! 🤯
    11 projects | dev.to | 30 Jan 2022
    I started my file system with BrowserFS which allowed me to setup IndexedDb as the main writeable location. When in Firefox Private mode it switches to an in memory file system which does not persist. Using BrowserFS also meant I could open ZIP and ISO files as if they were folders. I create a JSON file on build that has the initial public folder directory structure which is used as the readable portion of the file system via plain HTTP GET requests. I've also added the ability to extract RAR files, although I don't currently have it linked to File Explorer to see it's contents before extracting. I can also make and extract ZIP/ISO via fflate.
  • fzstd - expand super-compressed Zstandard data in 8kB of pure JS
    2 projects | /r/javascript | 4 Jul 2021
    Hello all! I've been maintaining fflate, a pure JavaScript compression and decompression library for DEFLATE data, for nearly a year now. It's become quite popular for being the fastest DEFLATE library available (including WebAssembly ports!) while being absolutely tiny in terms of bundle size. DEFLATE has many uses, as a general purpose compression format, so it has become very popular and is used in formats like PNG, PDF, XLSX, etc.
  • Creating a modern JS library: Introduction
    2 projects | dev.to | 5 Apr 2021
    To keep it short: I've worked on Parcel for a few months and therefore have investigated in great depth the fine details of making a package bundler-friendly. I've also published and maintained various successful packages, the most popular of which is is a high-performance compression library that reached over 4 million downloads in 6 months and is currently depended on by large projects such as SheetJS and Three.js. I've dealt with many of the problems new library authors face multiple times, so I'm familiar with the workarounds.
