Zstandard, or zstd as short version, 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. Zstandard library is provided as open source software using a BSD license. Its format is stable and published as IETF RFC 8878. WWW: https://facebook.github.io/zstd/ WWW: https://github.com/facebook/zstd
