The compress function uses the extremely fast LZRW1 compression algorithm,
by Ross Williams, to convert a Byte Vector, String, or Symbol into a much smaller Byte Vector. When to use Use the compress function to reduce the size of the iput Byte Vector, String or symbol argument.
(compress input) A Byte Vector that contains compressed version of the input.
Here are a number of links to Lambda coding examples which contain this instruction in various use cases.
Example_ByteVector_compress_001
The compress function converts a String to a much smaller ByteVector.
Here are the links to the data types of the function arguments. Here are also a number of links to functions having arguments with any of these data types.
