browserify-zlib provides drop-in replacements for Node.js core's zlib module, specifically designed for Browserify and other browser environments. This package enables you to use zlib-based compression and decompression algorithms like gzip and deflate within your browser-based JavaScript projects. It offers browser-compatible implementations, ensuring your code relying on zlib functionality works seamlessly in both Node.js and the browser. Leveraging this allows for efficient handling of compressed data directly in the client-side, without requiring a server-side processing step.
