    Zstandard

    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.

    Brotli

    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.

    archiver

    archiver

    Easily create & extract archives, and compress & decompress files

    Introducing Archiver 4.0 - a cross-platform, multi-format archive utility and Go library. A powerful and flexible library meets an elegant CLI in this generic replacement for several platform-specific or format-specific archive utilities. The core library APIs work pretty well but the command has not been implemented yet, nor have most automated tests. If you need the arc command, stick with v3 for now. Create and extract archive files. Walk or traverse into archive files. Extract only specific files from archives. Insert (append) into .tar files. Numerous archive and compression formats supported. Extensible (add more formats just by registering them) Cross-platform, static binary. Pure Go (no cgo). Multithreaded Gzip. Adjust compression levels. Automatically add compressed files to zip archives without re-compressing Open password-protected RAR archives.
