StreamTools

Yet another one library with .NET streaming helpers.

StringStream

Simple proxy stream to obrain ability process string data as a stream:

using Stream inputStream = StringStream.Read(source: "some string");

Or, you can write to a string:

using Stream outputStream = StringStream.Write();

Key features

• High prefomance string based stream.
• Low memory allocation
• Full support of a .NET stream functionality
• Multiple buffer allocation drivers:
  • ArrayPool
  • MemoryPool
  • StringBuilder

Example

Read

For example, generate stream from a string value to compress with gZip:

using System.IO.Compression;
using BitSoft.StreamTools;

public static byte[] Compress(string source)
{
	ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(source);

	using var inputStream = StringStream.Read(source);
	using var outputStream = new MemoryStream();
	using var gzipStream = new GZipStream(outputStream, CompressionMode.Compress);

	inputStream.CopyTo(gzipStream);

	return outputStream.GetBuffer();
}

Write

Decompress an input stream with gZip and convert it to a string value:

using System.IO.Compression;
using BitSoft.StreamTools;

public static string Decompress(Stream sourceStream)
{
	ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(source);

	using var outputStream = StringStream.Write();
	using var gZipStream = new GZipStream(sourceStream, CompressionMode.Decompress, leaveOpen: true);

	gZipStream.CopyTo(outputStream);

	return outputStream.GetString();
}
