This class implements the general ZLIB data compression algorithm used by the gzip and PKZip compression programs. The constants defined by this class are used to specify the compression strategy to be used and the compression speed/strength trade-off level to be used. If you set the nowrap argument to the constructor to true, then the ZLIB header and checksum data are omitted from the compressed output, which is the format that both gzip and PKZip use.
The important methods of this class are setInput(), which specifies input data to be compressed, and deflate(), which compresses the data and returns the compressed output. The remaining methods exist so that Deflater can be used for stream-based compression, as it is in higher-level classes such as GZIPOutputStream and ZipOutputStream. These stream classes are sufficient in most cases. Most applications do not need to use Deflater directly.
The Inflater class uncompresses data compressed with a Deflater object.
