Zstandard
Zstandard - Fast real-time compression algorithm
Zstandard is a fast compression algorithm, providing high compression ratios. It also offers a special mode for small data, called dictionary compression. The reference library offers a very wide range of speed / compression trade-off, and is backed by an extremely fast decoder (see benchmarks below). Zstandard library is provided as open source software using a BSD license. Its format is stable and published as IETF RFC 8478. The negative compression levels, specified with --fast=#, offer faster compression and decompression speed in exchange for some loss in compression ratio compared to level 1, as seen in the table above. Zstd can trade compression speed for stronger compression ratios. It is configurable by small increment. Decompression speed is preserved and remain roughly the same at all settings, a property shared by most LZ compression algorithms, such as zlib or lzma. -

12
Lossless compressor for multichannel 8,16 and 24 bits audio data, with the ability of password data protection. Being 'lossless' means that no data/quality is lost in the compression - when uncompressed, the data will be identical to the original.

Brotli
Brotli compression format
Version 1.0.9 contains a fix to "integer overflow" problem. This happens when "one-shot" decoding API is used (or input chunk for streaming API is not limited), input size (chunk size) is larger than 2GiB, and input contains uncompressed blocks. After the overflow happens, memcpy is invoked with a gigantic num value, that will likely cause the crash. Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression. The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in RFC 7932. Brotli is open-sourced under the MIT License. You can download and install brotli using the vcpkg dependency manager. -

Snappy
A fast compressor/decompressor
Snappy is a compression/decompression library. It does not aim for maximum compression, or compatibility with any other compression library; instead, it aims for very high speeds and reasonable compression. For instance, compared to the fastest mode of zlib, Snappy is an order of magnitude faster for most inputs, but the resulting compressed files are anywhere from 20% to 100% bigger. Snappy is intended to be fast. On a single core of a Core i7 processor in 64-bit mode, it compresses at about 250 MB/sec or more and decompresses at about 500 MB/sec or more. (These numbers are for the slowest inputs in our benchmark suite; others are much faster.) In our tests, Snappy usually is faster than algorithms in the same class (e.g. LZO, LZF, QuickLZ, etc.) while achieving comparable compression ratios. -

UglifyJS 3
JavaScript parser, mangler, compressor, beautifier toolkit
UglifyJS is a JavaScript compressor/minifier written in JavaScript. It also contains tools that allow one to automate working with JavaScript code. A parser which produces an abstract syntax tree (AST) from JavaScript code. A code generator which outputs JavaScript code from an AST, also providing the option to get a source map. A compressor (optimizer). it uses the transformer API to optimize an AST into a smaller one. A mangler, reduce names of local variables to (usually) single-letters. A scope analyzer, which is a tool that augments the AST with information about where variables are defined/referenced etc. A tree walker, a simple API allowing you to do something on every node in the AST. A tree transformer, another API intended to transform the tree. All the above utilities and APIs are defined in ~6500 lines of code (except for the effective generation of the source-map, which is handled by the source-map module). Compared to alternatives, UglifyJS is pretty small. -

TurboPower Abbrevia
Advanced data compression toolkit for Delphi and C++Builder
Abbrevia is a compression toolkit for Delphi, C++Builder, Kylix, and Free Pascal. It supports compressing and decompressing PKZIP, Microsoft CAB, tar, gzip, and bzip2 archives, and can create self-extracting executables. On Windows it also provides Delphi wrappers for the LZMA, Bzip2, and WavPack SDKs, and PPMd decompression. Abbrevia also has several visual controls that simplify displaying and manipulating archives, including treeview and listview components. -

zpaqfranz
Zpaq compatible archiver for Win, Linux, Free/OpenBSD, Solaris, MacOS
Advanced archiver (zpaq fork) with deduplication and versioning. Never prune your backups: keeps a forever-to-ever copy (even thousands of versions) of your files, conceptually similar to Mac time machines, or zfs' snapshots, but much more efficiently. Ideal for virtual machine backup and "freezing" zfs snapshots forever. Easily handles millions of files and TBs of data. Allows rsync backups to the cloud (or NAS, or USB) with minimal data transfer, encryption and very limited bandwidth. Highest possibilities of data verification, fast, deep and even paranoid-level, with support for multithread acceleration on SSD/NVMe (real world 1GB/s+). Freeware Win GUI (PAKKA) here https://www.francocorbelli.it/pakka/build/latest No complex repository folders, just one file. Latest "hashers" (SHA-3, BLAKE3 w/HW acceleration on Win, XXH3) 15+ years of developing (2009-now). Seeing is believing! https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz/wiki -
