uzlib VS ESP32-targz

Compare uzlib vs ESP32-targz and see what are their differences.

uzlib

Radically unbloated DEFLATE/zlib/gzip compression/decompression library. Can decompress any gzip/zlib data, and offers simplified compressor which produces gzip-compatible output, while requiring much less resources (and providing less compression ratio of course). (by pfalcon)

ESP32-targz

🗜️ An Arduino library to unpack/uncompress tar, gz, and tar.gz files on ESP32 and ESP8266 (by tobozo)

  • Compression algorithms for HTTP packets

    This GitHub repo might have something that works https://github.com/pfalcon/uzlib , according to the author, the compression ratio isn't very high
  • Using TAR files in ESP32 with SD applications for easy multiple file transfers

    I am engineering a watch to play home videos of my children on my wrist - my Reflections project. I need an easy way to move multiple files from a Cloud based service to the watch. tar) and GZip are widely used standards to build and compress an archive of binary (for example, movies and sound files) and text (for example, JSON encoded procedural scripting command) files. Using tar I simplify my code to move one tar file instead of multiple individual files. The ESP32-targz library combines uzlib and TinyUntar to decompress and inflate tar files and works well with Arduino IDE 1.8.13, ESP32, and an SD card. This is my developer’s journal of the problems that I encountered and the work-arounds I used.

  • ESP32 CAM module auto start and no cabel download pictures
    1 project | /r/esp32 | 28 Aug 2022
    Sounds super simple to download images via a webserver, just have a page that dumps the contents of the SD card ( if you using it to save the images ) back as TGZ format. https://github.com/tobozo/ESP32-targz
