[dart-announce] BREAKING CHANGE: dart:io ZLibDeflater/ZLibInflater renamed to ZLibEncoder/ZLibDecoder

[Anders Johnsen]

BREAKING CHANGE!

As part of the new dart:convert library, we've rewritten out ZLib implementation to provide both ZLib/GZip codecs and converters.

As Converters are Streams, the usage is quite similar. Note that with dart:convert, we now also have direct encode/decode methods as well as chunked conversions.

Regards,

- Anders

Are there any plans to move zlib encoding/decoding out of dart:io? We have a web project that'd benefit from these libraries, but can't use them since they're in dart:io.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't know if the Zlib code relies on dart:io, but it not, it makes sense to make this available to web apps. I just opened https://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=12876 to track this request.

Isn't this being refactored to dart:convert?

[Søren Gjesse]

The zlib encoding/decoding will stay in dart:io for the time being. For details on why see the comments on the bug https://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=12876.
