 public class Inflater extends Object This class provides support for general purpose decompression using the popular ZLIB compression library. The ZLIB compression library was initially developed as part of the PNG graphics standard and is not protected by patents. It is fully described in the specifications at the java.util.zip package description.This class inflates sequences of ZLIB compressed bytes. The input byte sequence is provided in either byte array or byte buffer, via one of the setInput()methods. The output byte sequence is written to the output byte array or byte buffer passed to thedeflate()methods.The following code fragment demonstrates a trivial compression and decompression of a string using DeflaterandInflater.try { // Encode a String into bytes String inputString = "blahblahblah€€"; byte[] input = inputString.getBytes("UTF-8"); // Compress the bytes byte[] output = new byte[100]; Deflater compresser = new Deflater(); compresser.setInput(input); compresser.finish(); int compressedDataLength = compresser.deflate(output); // Decompress the bytes Inflater decompresser = new Inflater(); decompresser.setInput(output, 0, compressedDataLength); byte[] result = new byte[100]; int resultLength = decompresser.inflate(result); decompresser.end(); // Decode the bytes into a String String outputString = new String(result, 0, resultLength, "UTF-8"); } catch (java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException ex) { // handle } catch (java.util.zip.DataFormatException ex) { // handle }- API Note:
- To release resources used by this Inflater, theend()method should be called explicitly. Subclasses are responsible for the cleanup of resources acquired by the subclass. Subclasses that overridefinalize()in order to perform cleanup should be modified to use alternative cleanup mechanisms such asCleanerand remove the overridingfinalizemethod.
- Implementation Requirements:
- If this Inflaterhas been subclassed and theendmethod has been overridden, theendmethod will be called by the finalization when the inflater is unreachable. But the subclasses should not depend on this specific implementation; the finalization is not reliable and thefinalizemethod is deprecated to be removed.

Constructor Detail- 
Inflaterpublic Inflater(boolean nowrap) Creates a new decompressor. If the parameter 'nowrap' is true then the ZLIB header and checksum fields will not be used. This provides compatibility with the compression format used by both GZIP and PKZIP.Note: When using the 'nowrap' option it is also necessary to provide an extra "dummy" byte as input. This is required by the ZLIB native library in order to support certain optimizations. - Parameters:
- nowrap- if true then support GZIP compatible compression
 
 - 
Inflaterpublic Inflater() Creates a new decompressor.

Method Detail- 
setInputpublic void setInput(byte[] input, int off, int len)Sets input data for decompression.One of the setInput()methods should be called wheneverneedsInput()returns true indicating that more input data is required.- Parameters:
- input- the input data bytes
- off- the start offset of the input data
- len- the length of the input data
- See Also:
- needsInput()
 
 - 
setInputpublic void setInput(byte[] input) Sets input data for decompression.One of the setInput()methods should be called wheneverneedsInput()returns true indicating that more input data is required.- Parameters:
- input- the input data bytes
- See Also:
- needsInput()
 
 - 
setInputpublic void setInput(ByteBuffer input) Sets input data for decompression.One of the setInput()methods should be called wheneverneedsInput()returns true indicating that more input data is required.The given buffer's position will be advanced as inflate operations are performed, up to the buffer's limit. The input buffer may be modified (refilled) between inflate operations; doing so is equivalent to creating a new buffer and setting it with this method. Modifying the input buffer's contents, position, or limit concurrently with an inflate operation will result in undefined behavior, which may include incorrect operation results or operation failure. - Parameters:
- input- the input data bytes
- Since:
- 11
- See Also:
- needsInput()
 
 - 
setDictionarypublic void setDictionary(byte[] dictionary, int off, int len)Sets the preset dictionary to the given array of bytes. Should be called when inflate() returns 0 and needsDictionary() returns true indicating that a preset dictionary is required. The method getAdler() can be used to get the Adler-32 value of the dictionary needed.- Parameters:
- dictionary- the dictionary data bytes
- off- the start offset of the data
- len- the length of the data
- See Also:
- needsDictionary(),- getAdler()
 
 - 
setDictionarypublic void setDictionary(byte[] dictionary) Sets the preset dictionary to the given array of bytes.

inflatepublic int inflate(byte[] output, int off, int len) throws DataFormatExceptionUncompresses bytes into specified buffer. Returns actual number of bytes uncompressed. A return value of 0 indicates that needsInput() or needsDictionary() should be called in order to determine if more input data or a preset dictionary is required. In the latter case, getAdler() can be used to get the Adler-32 value of the dictionary required.If the setInput(ByteBuffer)method was called to provide a buffer for input, the input buffer's position will be advanced by the number of bytes consumed by this operation, even in the event that aDataFormatExceptionis thrown.The remaining byte count will be reduced by the number of consumed input bytes. If the setInput(ByteBuffer)method was called to provide a buffer for input, the input buffer's position will be advanced the number of consumed bytes.These byte totals, as well as the total bytes read and the total bytes written values, will be updated even in the event that a DataFormatExceptionis thrown to reflect the amount of data consumed and produced before the exception occurred.- Parameters:
- output- the buffer for the uncompressed data
- off- the start offset of the data
- len- the maximum number of uncompressed bytes
- Returns:
- the actual number of uncompressed bytes
- Throws:
- DataFormatException- if the compressed data format is invalid
- See Also:
- needsInput(),- needsDictionary()

In the latter case, getAdler() can be used to get the Adler-32 value of the dictionary required.On success, the position of the given outputbyte buffer will be advanced by as many bytes as were produced by the operation, which is equal to the number returned by this method. Note that the position of theoutputbuffer will be advanced even in the event that aDataFormatExceptionis thrown.The remaining byte count will be reduced by the number of consumed input bytes. If the setInput(ByteBuffer)method was called to provide a buffer for input, the input buffer's position will be advanced the number of consumed bytes.These byte totals, as well as the total bytes read and the total bytes written values, will be updated even in the event that a DataFormatExceptionis thrown to reflect the amount of data consumed and produced before the exception occurred.- Parameters:

finalize@Deprecated(since="9", forRemoval=true) protected void finalize() Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Thefinalizemethod has been deprecated and will be removed. It is implemented as a no-op. Subclasses that overridefinalizein order to perform cleanup should be modified to use alternative cleanup mechanisms and remove the overridingfinalizemethod. The recommended cleanup for compressor is to explicitly callendmethod when it is no longer in use. If theendis not invoked explicitly the resource of the compressor will be released when the instance becomes unreachable,Closes the decompressor when garbage is collected.- Overrides:
- finalizein class- Object
- Implementation Requirements:
- If this Inflaterhas been subclassed and theendmethod has been overridden, theendmethod will be called when the inflater is unreachable.
