Our zlib-rs project implements a memory-safe and performant drop-in replacement for zlib, a widely-used data compression library.

@folkertdev shares the status quo of zlib-rs, including the good news that performance for the highest compression level is on par with the zlib-ng fork of zlib.

Our zlib-rs project implements a drop-in replacement for libz.so, a dynamic library that is widely used to perform gzip (de)compression.

@tweedegolf @folkertdev @trifectatech I keep hoping for more uptake of zstd format for size and efficiency gains. Any thoughts towards supporting it?
@bondolo @tweedegolf @folkertdev @trifectatech
Yes! We are planning for zstd in our data compression initiative: https://trifectatech.org/initiatives/data-compression/
