@mongodb-js/zstd

Zstandard compression library for Node.js

Installation

npm install @mongodb-js/zstd

Release Integrity

Releases are created automatically and signed using the Node team's GPG key. This applies to the git tag as well as all release packages provided as part of a GitHub release. To verify the provided packages, download the key and import it using gpg:

gpg --import node-driver.asc

The GitHub release contains a detached signature file for the NPM package (named mongodb-js-zstd-X.Y.Z.tgz.sig).

The following command returns the link npm package.

npm view @mongodb-js/zstd@vX.Y.Z dist.tarball 

Using the result of the above command, a curl command can return the official npm package for the release.

To verify the integrity of the downloaded package, run the following command:

gpg --verify mongodb-js-zstd-X.Y.Z.tgz.sig mongodb-js-zstd-X.Y.Z.tgz

Note

No verification is done when using npm to install the package. The contents of the Github tarball and npm's tarball are identical.

To verify the native .node packages, follow the same steps as above using mongodb-js-zstd-X.Y.Z-platform.tgz and the corresponding .sig file.

Usage

import { compress, decompress } from '@mongodb-js/zstd';

(async () => {
