About Zstandard
Zstandard is a lossless compression algorithm designed for fast, real-time processing. Lossless compression reduces the size of data while allowing the original content to be reconstructed exactly. The supplied description positions it as aiming for compression speeds in the range of zlib with improved compression ratios, and identifies a fast entropy-coding stage. Zstandard can be used by applications that need to compress or decompress data efficiently, from files to data streams. It is an algorithm and supporting implementation rather than a standalone file-management application; specific performance depends on the data, compression settings, and hardware. It is designed for real-time compression scenarios.
