const zlib = require('zlib');
 
// Calling gzip function to compress data
zlib.gzip('GeeksforGeeks', function (err, data) {
    if (err) {
        return console.log('err', err);
    }
 
    // Calling createGunzip method
    // to decompress the data again
    const gunzip = zlib.createGunzip();
    gunzip.write(data);
    gunzip.on('data', function (data) {
        console.log(data.toString());
    });
});


Output:

GeeksforGeeks

Example 2: 

javascript




// Node.js program to demonstrate the

// Including zlib module
const zlib = require('zlib');
 
// Calling gzip function to compress data
zlib.gzip('GfG', function (err, data) {
    if (err) {
        return console.log('err', err);
    }
 
    // Calling createGunzip method
    // to decompress the data again
    const gunzip = zlib.createGunzip();
    gunzip.write(data);
    gunzip.on('data', function (data) {
        // Encoding the data
