This is a C# .Net Standard library which enables zipping and unzipping strings in memory.

No additional NuGet packages are needed, this logic is based on System.IO.Compression.

Please check if System.IO.Compression and Linq are included.

The Zip/Unzip logic is also available on http://nuget.org.

You can find it on https://www.nuget.org/packages/ZipHelperLib/.

Or use your Package Manager in Visual Studio: Install-Package ZipHelperLib -Version 1.0.0

This solution is deviced in three parts:

1. ZipHelperLib, the zip/unzip logic
2. ZipHelperApp, a test application for the zip/unzip logic; it uses a file (included in project) containing Lorem Ipsum text just to fill a stringto start with. After execution, check the compression rate
3. ZipHelperUnit, a unittest for the zip/unzip logic; it uses a text string, not a file

Follow this guide

Do these steps:

• Update the`package version like '1.0.1' in the csproj of the library
• Compile the code
• Run the unittests

• Publish
