zip
Compresses this String using GZIP encoding.
Return
a GZIP-compressed byte array, or EMPTY_BYTE_ARRAY if this string is empty.
Compresses this ByteArray using GZIP encoding.
Equivalent to String.zip but operates on raw bytes, avoiding a redundant UTF-8 re-encoding when the caller already holds the content as a byte array. For the same content, bytes.zip() produces identical output to string.zip() when bytes == string.toByteArray(StandardCharsets.UTF_8).
Return
a GZIP-compressed byte array, or EMPTY_BYTE_ARRAY if this array is empty.
