Compression Array of Bytes
- by Pedro Magalhaes
Hi,
My problem is:
I want to store a array of bytes in compressed file, and then I want to read it with a good performance.
So I create a array of bytes then pass to a ZLIB algorithm then store it in the file.
For my surprise the algorithm doesn't work well., probably because the array is a random sample.
Using this approach, it will will be ber easy to read. Just copy the stream to memory, decompress them and copy it to a array of bytes.
But i need to compress the file. Do I have to use a algorithm, like RLE, for compresse the byte array?
I think that I can store the byte array like a string and then compress it. But i think I am going to have a poor performance on reading data.
Sorry for my poor english.
Thanks
