Naive implementation of DEFLATE in C for decompressing gzip files (RFC 1951, RFC 1952). (by davecom)
uzlib
Radically unbloated DEFLATE/zlib/gzip compression/decompression library. Can decompress any gzip/zlib data, and offers simplified compressor which produces gzip-compatible output, while requiring much less resources (and providing less compression ratio of course). (by pfalcon)

Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Decompressing a Gzip File by Hand
Programming a gzip (deflate) decompressor is a really good learning project. I did it last year, ultimately producing a pretty poor but working implementation [0]. I ended up modifying Mark Adler's puff example program to see the intermediary tables it produces to help debug my own implementation. I wish I had known about infgen (also by Adler). The other resource I would recommend, beyond the official specs is this article by Joshua Davies[1], also mentioned in the original post here.

Compression algorithms for HTTP packets
This GitHub repo might have something that works https://github.com/pfalcon/uzlib , according to the author, the compression ratio isn't very high

Using TAR files in ESP32 with SD applications for easy multiple file transfers
I am engineering a watch to play home videos of my children on my wrist - my Reflections project. I need an easy way to move multiple files from a Cloud based service to the watch. tar) and GZip are widely used standards to build and compress an archive of binary (for example, movies and sound files) and text (for example, JSON encoded procedural scripting command) files. Using tar I simplify my code to move one tar file instead of multiple individual files. The ESP32-targz library combines uzlib and TinyUntar to decompress and inflate tar files and works well with Arduino IDE 1.8.13, ESP32, and an SD card. This is my developer’s journal of the problems that I encountered and the work-arounds I used.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nflate and uzlib you can also consider the following projects:
infgen - Deflate disassember to convert a deflate, zlib, or gzip stream into a readable form.
ESP32-targz - 🗜️ An Arduino library to unpack/uncompress tar, gz, and tar.gz files on ESP32 and ESP8266
