ZipRebel is a file compression tool that is so powerful it can reduce the entire internet to less than a byte of data. Here's a more detailed announcement.

How to use it?

The easiest way is just to call the right method on the ZipRebel class, appropriately called "compress":

long result = new ZipRebel().compress(new byte[] { 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 });

Alternatively, ZipRebel can work with Paths and either provide you with result on the Java code level, or conveniently write it to the filesystem near the original file.

Path original = Paths.get("/etc/passwd");
long result = new ZipRebel().compress(original);

or

Path original = ...;
Path target = new ZipRebel().compressAndDump(original);
System.out.println(target.toAbsolutePath());

Tests?

We have tested ZipRebel many times.
