DecompressionStream: DecompressionStream() constructor

format

One of the following compression formats:

"gzip"

Decompress the stream using the GZIP format.

"deflate"

Decompress 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"

Decompress the stream using the DEFLATE algorithm without a header and trailing checksum.

TypeError

Thrown if the format passed to the constructor is not supported.

In this example a gzip-compressed blob is decompressed.

const ds = new DecompressionStream("gzip");
const decompressedStream = blob.stream().pipeThrough(ds);
