How can I compress data using Zlib, without directly using zlib.dylib?

Question

Is there a class that allows compressing data using Zlib, or is using zlib.dylib directly the only possibility I have?

Answer 1

NSData+Compression is an easy to use NSData category implementation.

• NSData+Compression.h
• NSData+Compression.m

Usage:

NSData* compressed = [myData zlibDeflate];
NSData* originalData = [compressed zlibInflate];
