FFlate is the fastest, smallest, and most effective JavaScript compressor/decompressor currently; to create it, I used a variety of modified or optimized algorithms.
Part 1: The DEFLATE spec
The core of most popular compressed file formats is DEFLATE, or RFC1951. GZIP data, Zlib data, .zip files, PNG images, and more all use some variant of DEFLATE under the hood. At its core, the DEFLATE format is actually not too complex: it's merely a combination of Huffman coding and LZ77 compression.
If you don't understand either of these concepts, feel free to read the following subsections, or skip to Part 2 if you already know what these are and just want to get to implementation details.
Section I: Huffman Coding
Computers think of basically everything as numbers. The smallest unit of information in a computer is a single bit, which can only be either a 0 or a 1. When multiple bits are stringed together, they can be interpreted as a ba

In addition, Backblaze, with whom Cloudflare are a Bandwidth Alliance partner, have published their own guide detailing how to use Cloudflare's Web Workers to cache content from B2 private buckets. That is worth reading,
