tar.gz large content

[miguelmcorreia]

Hi, need some help here. I am doing tests on my tar.gz decoder and it fails for large files.

I have turning around this and haven't gotten a solution. I know the tarball is a folder structure that has a json file in it, and i want to manipulate the json file in memory.

void decode(List<int> bytes) {
  final archive = TarDecoder().decodeBytes(GZipDecoder().decodeBytes(bytes));

  archive
    .where((entry) => entry.name.endsWith('json'))
    .toList()
    .forEach((element) {
        final content = element.content as List<int>;
    })
}

doing this i check the content length and it is 0. Is it the problem of the size of the file? Is there a way to stream it?
