Function inflate

inflate(data[, options]) -> Uint8Array|String

• data (Uint8Array|ArrayBuffer): input data to decompress.
• options (Object): zlib inflate options.

Decompress data with inflate/ungzip and options. Autodetect format via wrapper header by default. That's why we don't provide separate ungzip method.

Supported options are:

• windowBits

http://zlib.net/manual.html#Advanced for more information.

Sugar (options):

• raw (Boolean) - say that we work with raw stream, if you don't wish to specify negative windowBits implicitly.
• to (String) - if equal to 'string', then result will be converted from utf8 to utf16 (javascript) string. When string output requested, chunk length can differ from chunkSize, depending on content.

Example:

const pako = require('pako');
const input = pako.deflate(new Uint8Array([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]));
let output;

try {
  output = pako.inflate(input);
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err);
}
