bspatch ported to esp32
I got inspired by [detools](https://github.com/eerimoq/detools) which was ported in this project https://github.com/ESP32-Musings/esp32_compressed_delta_ota_update

Heatshrink: Data compression library for embedded/real-time systems
This seems really nice, very ambitious to do it as a "public" state machine that you sink data into and poll compressed bytes out. I can imagine that makes it really nice if you're trying to decompress something in a real-time environment, to cap the execution time. Cool.
Another related algorithm is LZJB, which I've successfully used in embedded environments in production. I have a pure Python implementation [1] that can be useful for "offline" tool development, i.e. when building images for consumption by some embedded target, just thought I'd mention that.

What are some alternatives?
When comparing detools and python-lzjb you can also consider the following projects:
bsdiff - bsdiff and bspatch are libraries for building and applying patches to binary files.
esp32_compressed_delta_ota_update - Compressed Delta OTA Updates for ESP32
esp32_bsdiff - bsdiff changed to remove bz2, the header and to allow streaming interfaces, to be used on the esp32 with idf as a component
