ezgzip - Simple gzip (de)compression library

ezgzip is a simple interface focused on string -> string zlib and gzip (de)compression.

Documentation is available here.

An example illustrating how to gzip compress and then decompress a string:

open Rresult

let () =
  let original = "Hello world" in
  let compressed = Ezgzip.compress original in
  let decompressed = R.get_ok (Ezgzip.decompress compressed) in
  assert (original = decompressed)

This library currently uses the zlib bindings provided by camlzip. The gzip header/footer code is based on the upstream specification.
