The zlib.brotliCompress() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of the Zlib module which is used to compresses a chunk of data. Syntax:
zlib.brotliCompress( buffer, options, callback )
Parameters: This method accepts three parameters as mentioned above and described below:
  • buffer: It can be of type Buffer, TypedArray, DataView, ArrayBuffer, and string.
  • options: It is an optional parameter that holds the zlib options.
  • callback: It holds the callback function.
Return Value: It returns the chunk of data after compression. Below examples illustrate the use of zlib.brotliCompress() method in Node.js: Example 1: javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the     
// brotliCompress() method

// Including zlib module
const zlib = require("zlib");

// Declaring input and assigning
// it a value string
var input = "Computer Science";

// Calling brotliCompress method
zlib.brotliCompress(input, (err, buffer) => {

        console.log(buffer.toString('base64'));
});

Example 2: javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the     
// brotliCompress() method

// Including zlib module
const zlib = require("zlib");

// Declaring input and assigning
// it a value string
var input = "Computer Science";

// Calling brotliCompress method
zlib.brotliCompress(input, (err, buffer) => {
  if(!err) {
      console.log(buffer.toString('hex'));
  }
  else {
      console.log(err);
  }
