Introduction

What is qtiocompressor

The class works on top of a QIODevice subclass, compressing data before it is written and decompressing it when it is read. Since QtIOCompressor works on streams, it does not have to see the entire data set before compressing or decompressing it. This can reduce the memory requirements when working on large data sets.
