以前做项目的时候,需要提供文件压缩功能。当时是使用了一个开源的类库,名为ZipLib,使用起来还是很方便的。我还在自己的英文博客上post了一篇文章《
ZipLib Works Well! 》也许是看到了这个功能的必要性,在.Net 2.0中,微软在System.IO中新增了System.IO.Compression命名空间,提供了压缩功能的相关类GZipStream。
这个类的使用与一般的文件流使用差不多。我没有分析其内部实现,但猜测应该还是采用Decorator模式对Stream进行了装饰,从中应用了Compression算法。它通过Write()方法,将buffer里面的内容写到另一个文件流中,例如源文件为sourceFile,压缩后的文件为targetFile,则方法为:
byte[] buffer = null;
FileStream sourceStream = null;
FileStream targetStream = null;
GZipStream compressedStream = null;

sourceStream = new FileStream(sourceFile,FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read,FileShare.Read);
buffer = new byte[sourceStream.Length];
sourceStream.Read(buffer,0,buffer.Length);

targetStream = new FileStream(targetFile,FileMode.OpenOrCreate,FileAccess.Write);
//将CompressedStream指向targetStream;
compressedStream = new GZipStream(targetStream,CompressionMode.Compress,true);
compressStream.Write(buffer,0,buffer.Length);
在使用GZipStream时,需要添加引用:
using System.IO;
using System.IO.Compression; 解压缩与前面的方法差不多,仍然使用GZipStream文件流:
// Read in the compressed source stream
sourceStream = new FileStream ( sourceFile, FileMode.Open );

// Create a compression stream pointing to the destiantion stream
decompressedStream = new GZipStream ( sourceStream, CompressionMode.Decompress, true );

// Read the footer to determine the length of the destiantion file
quartetBuffer = new byte[4];
int position = (int)sourceStream.Length - 4;
sourceStream.Position = position;
sourceStream.Read ( quartetBuffer, 0, 4 );
sourceStream.Position = 0;
int checkLength = BitConverter.ToInt32 ( quartetBuffer, 0 );

byte[] buffer = new byte[checkLength + 100];

int offset = 0;
int total = 0;

// Read the compressed data into the buffer
while ( true )
{
int bytesRead = decompressedStream.Read ( buffer, offset, 100 );

if ( bytesRead == 0 )
break;

offset += bytesRead;
total += bytesRead;
}

// Now write everything to the destination file
destinationStream = new FileStream ( destinationFile, FileMode.Create );
destinationStream.Write ( buffer, 0, total );

// and flush everyhting to clean out the buffer
destinationStream.Flush ( ); .Net 2.0中除了提供GZipStream外,还提供了DeflateStream类,它仍然具有压缩的功能,只是采用的压缩算法不同而已。
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.IO.Compression;

微软在加入GZipSream和DeflateStream后,使得.Net对文件流的支持更加丰富。我们也可以直接利用.Net Framework 2.0写出自己的压缩程序了。
