  3. Minizip-ng

    Fork of the popular zip manipulation library found in the zlib distribution.

  4. lzbench

    lzbench is an in-memory benchmark of open-source compressors

    Project mention: Lzbench Compression Benchmark | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-14

    ( https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases/tag/v1.5.6 )

    In my opinion, it is better to check the original repository: https://github.com/inikep/lzbench

  5. lizard

    Lizard 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 fast decompression speed (by inikep)

  6. precomp-cpp

    Precomp, C++ version - further compress already compressed files

  7. matio

    MATLAB MAT File I/O Library

  8. TurboBench

    Compression Benchmark

  9. SaaSHub

    SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives

  10. 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).

  11. tinf

    Tiny inflate library (inflate, gzip, zlib)

  12. merecat

    Small and made-easy HTTP/HTTPS server based on Jef Poskanzer's thttpd

    Project mention: Merecat Httpd – A Tiny (~140 KiB) Web Server with HTTPS and PHP Support | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-13
  13. fast_zlib

    Heavily optimized zlib compression algorithm

  14. SwiftSDL2

    Swift wrapper around Simple Direct Media Layer (SDL2) for macOS, iOS, Linux and Windows

  15. zlib

    Ruby interface for the zlib compression/decompression library (by ruby)

  16. jdvrif

    JPG Steganography Command-Line Tool & Web App.

  17. zlib

    Compression and decompression in the gzip and zlib formats (by haskell)

  18. Stm32-FatFs-Gzip

    This project offers a simplified compressor that produces Gzip-compatible output with small resources for microcontrollers and edge computers. He uses the very basic LZ77 compression algorithm and static Deflate Huffman tree encoding to compress / decompress data into Gzip files.

  19. jdeflate

    DEFLATE compressor/decompressor implementation

  20. zlib-bindings

    Low-level wrapper around the zlib library

  21. SaaSHub

    SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives
