react-native-brotli-decompress

Brotli decompression for React Native (iOS & Android).

This library was built to solve a real production problem — our backend (Python Django) was compressing API responses with Brotli before sending them, reducing payload sizes by ~75%, but no React Native library existed to decompress them on the client side. Works with Brotli-compressed data from any backend language or library.

Decompresses Brotli-compressed data passed as a Base64 string and returns the decompressed UTF-8 string.

Installation

npm install react-native-brotli-decompress

Android

No additional steps required. The library uses the org.brotli:dec Java library which is included automatically.

iOS

cd ios && pod install

Usage

import { decompress } from 'react-native-brotli-decompress';

// Pass a Base64-encoded Brotli-compressed string
const decompressed = await decompress(base64EncodedData);
console.log(decompressed); // UTF-8 decoded string

API

decompress(base64Data: string): Promise<string>

Parameter	Type	Description
base64Data	string	Base64-encoded Brotli-compressed data

Returns: Promise<string> — the decompressed UTF-8 string.

Throws:

• INVALID_INPUT — if the input is not valid Base64
• DECOMPRESSION_FAILED — if Brotli decompression fails
• DECODING_FAILED — if the decompressed bytes are not valid UTF-8
