WebPImageSerialization encodes and decodes between UIImage and WebP image data, following the API conventions of Foundation's NSJSONSerialization class.

Keen on C functions, are you? Well, WebPImageSerialization provides functions as well, for creating a UIImage from data, and generating a WebP representation of an existing UIImage.

What's that? You'd prefer not to write any additional code? You're in luck! So long as you don't #define WEBP_NO_UIIMAGE_INITIALIZER_SWIZZLING, UIImage will natively support WebP image data, allowing you to treat it no differently than JPEG, GIF, PNG, or TIFF.

UIImageView *imageView = ...;
imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image.webp"];

NSData *data = UIImageWebPRepresentation(imageView.image);
