CompressionStream: CompressionStream() constructor
Baseline
Widely available
*
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since May 2023.
* Some parts of this feature may have varying levels of support.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The CompressionStream() constructor creates a new CompressionStream object which compresses a stream of data.
Syntax
js
new CompressionStream(format)
Parameters
format-
One of the following allowed compression formats:
"brotli"-
Compresses the stream using the Brotli algorithm.
"gzip"-
Compresses the stream using the GZIP format.
"deflate"-
Compresses the stream using the DEFLATE algorithm in ZLIB Compressed Data Format. The ZLIB format includes a header with information about the compression method and the uncompressed size of the data, and a trailing checksum for verifying the integrity of the data
"deflate-raw"-
Compresses the stream using the DEFLATE algorithm without a header and trailing checksum.
"zstd"-
Compresses the stream using the ZSTD algorithm.
Exceptions
TypeError-
Thrown if the format passed to the constructor is not supported.
Examples
In this example a stream is compressed using gzip compression.
js
const compressedReadableStream = inputReadableStream.pipeThrough(
new CompressionStream("gzip"),
);
