lizard VS smaz

Compare lizard vs smaz and see what are their differences.

lizard

Lizard (formerly LZ5) is an efficient compressor with very fast decompression. It achieves compression ratio that is comparable to zip/zlib and zstd/brotli (at low and medium compression levels) at decompression speed of 1000 MB/s and faster. (by inikep)

smaz

Small strings compression library (by antirez)
