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). Version 0.1 was first publicly released ...
PeaZip is a free and open-source file manager and file archiver [5] for Microsoft Windows, ReactOS, [6] Linux, [7] [8] [9] MacOS [10] and BSD [11] [12] by Giorgio Tani. It supports its native PEA archive format [ 13 ] (supporting compression, multi-volume split, and flexible authenticated encryption and integrity check schemes) and other ...
application/gzip [5] gzip: Unix-like GNU Zip, the primary compression format used by Unix-like systems. The compression algorithm is Deflate, which combines LZSS with Huffman coding. .lz application/x-lzip lzip: Unix-like An alternate LZMA algorithm implementation, with support for checksums and ident bytes. .lz4 LZ4: Unix-like
Decompression speed is higher than bzip2, but lower than gzip. Compression can be much slower than gzip, and is slower than bzip2 for high levels of compression, and is most useful when a compressed file will be used many times. [4] [5] XZ Utils consists of two major components: xz, the command-line compressor and decompressor (analogous to gzip)
7-Zip is a free and open-source file archiver, a utility used to place groups of files within compressed containers known as "archives". It is developed by Igor Pavlov and was first released in 1999. It is developed by Igor Pavlov and was first released in 1999.
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 ...
zlib (/ ˈ z iː l ɪ b / or "zeta-lib", / ˈ z iː t ə ˌ l ɪ b /) [2] [3] is a software library used for data compression as well as a data format. [4] zlib was written by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler and is an abstraction of the DEFLATE compression algorithm used in their gzip file compression program. zlib is also a crucial component of many software platforms, including Linux, macOS ...
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.
