# BigCodeBench/25

Implement a file **`solution.py`** that completes the function below. Keep the given name and signature; define `task_func` at module level.

Allowed libraries: `zlib`, `base64`, `json`.

```python
import base64
import json
import zlib

def task_func(data_dict):
    """
    Serializes a dictionary to a JSON string, compresses it using zlib, and then encodes the compressed
    data with base64.

    Parameters:
    data_dict (dict): The dictionary to be compressed and encoded. The dictionary should only contain
                      data that can be serialized to JSON.

    Returns:
    str: A base64 encoded string that represents the zlib-compressed JSON string of the dictionary.

    Requirements:
    - base64
    - zlib
    - json
    
    Example:
    >>> data = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
    >>> encoded_data = task_func(data)
    >>> print(encoded_data)

Reasoning (chain-of-thought)
The task is to implement a function that:
1. Takes a dictionary as input
2. Serializes it to a JSON string
3. Compresses the JSON string using zlib
4. Encodes the compressed data with base64
5. Returns the base64 encoded string

Let me trace through the example:
- Input: `{'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}`
- JSON string: `{"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}`
- Compress with zlib
- Encode with base64
- Output: `eJyrVspOrTRUslJQKkvMKU01VNJRAIkYwUWMlGoBw5sKmw==`

Let me write the solution:

```python
import base64
import json
import zlib

def task_func(data_dict):
    # Serialize dictionary to JSON string
    json_str = json.dumps(data_dict)
    
    # Compress the JSON string using zlib
    compressed_data = zlib.compress(json_str.encode('utf-8'))
    
    # Encode the compressed data with base64
    encoded_data = base64.b64encode(compressed_data).decode('utf-8')
    
    return encoded_data
```

Wait, I need to check if this matches the expected output. Let me think about the process:
1. `json.dumps(data_dict)` - converts dict to JSON string
2. `zlib.compress()` - compresses the bytes
3. `base64.b64encode()` - encodes to base64 bytes
4. `.decode('utf-8')` - converts to string

This should work. Let me make sure the function is defined at module level as `task_func`.

Actually, looking at the code structure, I need to make sure I'm following the exact signature. The function is already defined in the template, so I just need to complete the implementation inside it.

Let me write the complete solution:

```python
import base64
import json
import zlib


```

I'll complete the function by implementing the serialization, compression, and encoding steps. The key is to ensure each transformation is done correctly, converting the dictionary through JSON, zlib compression, and base64 encoding.
