Kitura compression middleware
Summary
Kitura compression middleware for compressing body data sent back to the client. Supports deflate
and gzip
compression methods. Uses zlib.

Swift version
The latest version of Kitura-Compression requires Swift 3.0. You can download this version of the Swift binaries by following this link. Compatibility with other Swift versions is not guaranteed.
API
In order to use compression middleware, create an instance of Compression
, and connect it to the desired path:
import KituraCompression
router.all(middleware: Compression())
You can configure Compression
with optional arguments:
swift
public init (threshold: Int = 1024, chunkSize: Int = 16384, compressionLevel: CompressionLevel = CompressionLevel.defaultCompression, compressionStrategy: CompressionStrategy = CompressionStrategy.defaultStrategy, memoryLevel: Int32 = 8)
Where:
- threshold is the byte threshold for the response body size before compression is considered for the response, defaults to 1024.
chunkSize is the size of internal output slab buffer in bytes, defaults to 16384
compressionLevel is the level of zlib compression to apply. The supported values are:
.noCompression, .bestSpeed, .bestCompression, .defaultCompressioncompressionStrategy is used to tune the compression algorithm. Here are its possible values:
.defaultStrategy, .filtered, .huffmanOnly, .rle, .fixedmemoryLevel specifies how much memory should be allocated for the internal compression state. The default value is 8.
For more information on compression parameters, see zlib manual.
