## Class CompressionTools

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.document.CompressionTools

-     public class CompressionTools
      extends Object

  Simple utility class providing static methods to compress and decompress binary data for stored fields. This class uses java.util.zip.Deflater and Inflater classes to compress and decompress.

- - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Static Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `static byte[]` | `compress(byte[] value)` Compresses all bytes in the array, with default BEST_COMPRESSION level
    `static byte[]` | `compress(byte[] value, int offset, int length)` Compresses the specified byte range, with default BEST_COMPRESSION level
    `static byte[]` | `compress(byte[] value, int offset, int length, int compressionLevel)` Compresses the specified byte range using the specified compressionLevel (constants are defined in java.util.zip.Deflater).
    `static byte[]` | `compressString(String value)` Compresses the String value, with default BEST_COMPRESSION level
    `static byte[]` | `compressString(String value, int compressionLevel)` Compresses the String value using the specified compressionLevel (constants are defined in java.util.zip.Deflater).
    `static byte[]` | `decompress(byte[] value)` Decompress the byte array previously returned by compress
    `static byte[]` | `decompress(byte[] value, int offset, int length)` Decompress the byte array previously returned by compress
    `static byte[]` | `decompress(BytesRef bytes)` Decompress the byte array previously returned by compress (referenced by the provided BytesRef)
    `static String` | `decompressString(byte[] value)` Decompress the byte array previously returned by compressString back into a String
    `static String` | `decompressString(byte[] value, int offset, int length)` Decompress the byte array previously returned by compressString back into a String
    `static String` | `decompressString(BytesRef bytes)` Decompress the byte array (referenced by the provided BytesRef) previously returned by compressString back into a String
