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

   .gz 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

4. zlib - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zlib

   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 ...

5. 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.

6. TUGZip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUGZip

   TUGZip is a freeware file archiver for Microsoft Windows.It handles a great variety of archive formats, including some of the commonly used ones like zip, rar, gzip, bzip2, sqx and 7z. [2]

7. XZ Utils - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils

   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)

8. SquashFS - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SquashFS

   The original version of Squashfs used gzip compression, although Linux kernel 2.6.34 added support for LZMA [11] and LZO compression, [12] Linux kernel 2.6.38 added support for LZMA2 compression (which is used by xz), [13] Linux kernel 3.19 added support for LZ4 compression, [14] and Linux kernel 4.14 added support for Zstandard compression. [15]

9. Deflate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEFLATE

   The zlib/gzip reference implementation allows the user to select from a sliding scale of likely resulting compression-level vs. speed of encoding. Options range from 0 (do not attempt compression, just store uncompressed) to 9 representing the maximum capability of the reference implementation in zlib/gzip.
