Using Swift to handle a GZipped HTTP response (containing JSON)

Question

I wrote Android apps that take GZipped Json data from an HTTP response. Now I want to write some IPhone applications that do the same.

What class and approaches are needed to process GZipped Json data using Swift?

Answer 1

From the quick side:

• gzip. Alamofire. NSURLConnection/NSURLSession, gzipped. ( , ). , php- gzipped, ( alamofire) . ... : "Content-encoding: gzip".
• gzip. iOS PHP (, php) .

php:

• gzip. (gzipped) post ( iOS) :

  // Read the post data
  $handle = fopen("php://input", "rb");
  $raw_post_data = '';
  while (!feof($handle)) {
     $raw_post_data .= fread($handle, 8192);
  }
  fclose($handle);
  
  // unzip the post data
  $raw_post_data_unzipped = gzdecode($raw_post_data);
  

• gzip. gzipped- ( iOS), - php .

  ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
