Hi,
I want to compress and decompress data using gzip algorithm.

Please help,how do I achieve it?

you can use GZIPInputStream and GZIPOutputStream like you would other in/out streams to read and write.

Hi Bemshaswing,
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried using GZIPInputStream and GZIPOutputStream.

It will be gr8 if someone provides me with sample code

[bemshaswing]

here's an example of how it's done in standard java link

which doesn't differ greatly from gZip reading of inputStream

StringBuffer rawResponse = new StringBuffer();
InputStream inputStream = //some input stream
	GZIPInputStream gzipInputStream = new GZIPInputStream(inputStream);
				while (-1 != (length = gzipInputStream.read(responseData))) {
					rawResponse.append(new String(responseData, 0, length));
				
				}
