Inflater inflate() function in Java with examples


The inflate() function of the Inflater class is used to uncompress the input data and fill the given buffer with the uncompressed data. The function returns the number of bytes of the uncompressed data.

Function Signature: 

public int inflate(byte[] b)
public int inflate(byte[] b, int offset, int length)

Syntax: 



i.inflate(byte[])
i.inflate(byte[], int, int )

Parameter: The various parameters accepted by these overloaded functions are:

  • byte[] b: This is the input array that is to be inflated
  • int offset: This is the starting offset from which the values are to be read in the given array
  • int length: This is the maximum length to be compressed from the starting offset.

Return Type: The function returns an integer value which is the size of the uncompressed data.
Exception: The function throws DataFormatException, if compression data format is invalid

Example 1: use of inflate(byte[] b) function
