  Zstandard - Fast real-time compression algorithm

  

zstd, whether you want to favor speed or ratio or both its just the best

• ZLib

  49 5,278 8.9 C

  A massively spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library.

• Snappy

  5 5,987 2.6 C++

  A fast compressor/decompressor

  

• LZ4

  21 9,208 9.5 C

  Extremely Fast Compression algorithm

  

lz4 for maximum decompression speed, for data that is often read but rarely written

• xxHash

  28 8,462 8.4 C

  Extremely fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm

Interestingly they were both developed along xxHash by the great Yann Collet who makes my country proud !
