  2. gzip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzip

    gzip is a file format and a software application used for file compression and decompression.The program was created by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler as a free software replacement for the compress program used in early Unix systems, and intended for use by GNU (from which the "g" of gzip is derived).

  3. List of archive formats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_archive_formats

    tar with gzip, compress, bzip2, lzip, xz, or zstd Multiple Multiple Yes The "tarball" format combines tar archives with a file-based compression scheme (usually gzip). Commonly used for source and binary distribution on Unix-like platforms, widely available elsewhere. Xarchiver supports the .tar.zst Archive/Compression format on Unix-like ...

  4. HTTP compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_compression

    HTTP compression is a capability that can be built into web servers and web clients to improve transfer speed and bandwidth utilization. [1]HTTP data is compressed before it is sent from the server: compliant browsers will announce what methods are supported to the server before downloading the correct format; browsers that do not support compliant compression method will download uncompressed ...

  5. XZ Utils - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils

    XZ Utils can compress and decompress the xz and lzma file formats. Since the LZMA format has been considered legacy, [2] XZ Utils by default compresses to xz. In most cases, xz achieves higher compression rates than alternatives like zip, [3] gzip and bzip2. Decompression speed is higher than bzip2, but lower than gzip.

  6. 7-Zip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Zip

    When compressing ZIP or gzip files, 7-Zip uses its own DEFLATE encoder, which may achieve higher compression, but at lower speed, than the more common zlib DEFLATE implementation. The 7-Zip deflate encoder implementation is available separately as part of the AdvanceCOMP suite of tools.

  7. Brotli - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brotli

    Brotli is a lossless data compression algorithm developed by Google. It uses a combination of the general-purpose LZ77 lossless compression algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd-order context modelling. Brotli is primarily used by web servers and content delivery networks to compress HTTP content, making internet websites

  8. Zopfli - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zopfli

    Zopfli is a data compression library that performs Deflate, gzip and zlib data encoding. [2] It achieves higher compression ratios than mainstream Deflate and zlib implementations at the cost of being slower. [3] Google first released Zopfli in February 2013 under the terms of Apache License 2.0. [4]

  9. zstd - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zstd

    Zstandard was designed to give a compression ratio comparable to that of the DEFLATE algorithm (developed in 1991 and used in the original ZIP and gzip programs), but faster, especially for decompression. It is tunable with compression levels ranging from negative 7 (fastest) [6] to 22 (slowest in compression speed, but best compression ratio).
