Methods

compress(data, length)

If data is not a Buffer, the function will try to convert it via Buffer.from. If you specify a length, the function will allocate that much memory for the compressed data.
Returns the compressed data as a Buffer.

decompress(data, length)

If data is not a Buffer, the function will try to convert it via Buffer.from. If you specify a length, the function will allocate that much memory for the decompressed data. I suggest you to do so whenever you know the length.
Returns the decompressed data as a Buffer.
