How to create a compressed stream using the compress/flate package in Go?

To create a compressed stream using the compress/flate package in Go, you can follow these steps:

  1. Import the necessary packages:
import ( "compress/flate" "io" "os" )
  1. Create a file to write the compressed data:
file, err := os.Create("compressed.bin") if err != nil { panic(err) } defer file.Close()
  1. Create a flWriter using flate.NewWriter():
flWriter, err := flate.NewWriter(file, flate.DefaultCompression) if err != nil { panic(err) } defer flWriter.Close()
  1. Write the data you want to compress using the Write() method:
data := []byte("This is the data to compress") _, err = flWriter.Write(data) if err != nil { panic(err) }
  1. Flush the writer to make sure all the data is written:
err = flWriter.Flush() if err != nil { panic(err) }

That's it! You have successfully created a compressed stream using the compress/flate package in Go. The compressed data will be written to the "compressed.bin" file.
