[Library] LibCompress

[Shino 27]

Hey!

I backported the LibCompress Library of retail.

My initial goal was to use it in order to speed up the loading time for login and logout, but it failed.

But maybe it can be used for AddonMessages in order to decrease traffic.

Now lazy readme copy paste:

I added a few methods:

LibCompress:TableToString(t)

LibCompress:StringToTable(t)

LibCompress:StringSplit(del, table) -- Will return a table

The LZW compression is not working, and I can't figure really out why. The Huffman compression is working fine.

Usage: local libc = LibStub:GetLibrary("LibCompress")

local uncompressed = "Hey! I'd like to be compressed"
local compressed = libc:CompressHuffman(uncompressed)
uncompressed = libc:DecompressHuffman(compressed)

local table = {
[1] => {
["test"] => 123
},
[2] => 3
}

local uncompressed = libc:TableToString(table)

Returns "1>{,test>123,},2>3,"

 

You can download it here.

cheers!

Damn man, you are 1337. Back-porting all these libraries is super useful for the vanilla community! Great work!
