GzipCodec Class

Class representing a gzip compressor.

Gzip encoding uses temporary files because R's memCompress() produces zlib framing rather than gzip framing. This makes GzipCodec slower than ZstdCodec for writes. Prefer ZstdCodec when performance matters.

Format

R6::R6Class inheriting from Codec.

Details
