Compressing Messages
CXIO messages can be easily compressed or written to an archive format. This can be achieved using the pack directive as explained within this guide.
In the example below, the info command object would be written as JSON and compressed using deflate compression.
info test
hello: "world"
into disk
path "c:\cxio\test.cxio.deflate"
type json
pack deflate
ends
ends
Creating Archives
Message content can be split into individual entries within a single compressed archive file.
In the example below, we have specified the pack as zip with the output archive name as "petstore.zip". Against the two message bodies, we have specified the individual filenames to be used within within the archive.
info petstore
from petsandco
body name "cat.cxio"
pet: "cat"
sound: "meow"
ends
body name "dog.cxio"
pet: "dog"
sound: "woof"
ends
into disk
path "c:\cxio\petstore.zip"
type json
pack zip
chop body
ends
ends
