Compression Module - Mule 4
Compression module v2.2
Compression module supports and provides access to the most-used file archiver and compression formats through a Mule app.
A file archiver is a computer program that combines a number of files together into one archive file for easier transportation or storage, and most archivers employ data compression in their archive formats to reduce the size of the final archive. However, not all compression algorithms can archive multiple files. Some are limited to single-file data compression.
This module compresses and decompresses files for each of the available formats without losing any of the features that the format associated algorithm provides.
To achieve this capability, the module provides the Compress and Decompress operations, which enable you to compress and decompress a single file. Additionally, the module provides the Archive and Extract operations to archive and extract files. You can configure these operations with the compression or archiving strategies of your choice.
