pako - high speed zlib port to javascript, works in browser & node.js

•    Javascript

zlib's test is partially affected by marshalling (that make sense for inflate only). You can change deflate level to 0 in benchmark source, to investigate details. For deflate level 6 results can be considered as correct.

compact zlib, deflate, inflate, zip library in JavaScript

DeflateLib

The implementation of RFC 1951 -- DEFLATE Compressed Data Format Specification version 1.3 (also RFC 1950 ZLIB and 1952 GZIP). It's written in managed C#. The project has basic compression algorithm implementation as it's described in the RFC.

HTTP Compression Library for Heavy Load Web Server

Deflater is a HTTP Compression Library, supporting Deflate (RFC 1950, RFC 1951) and GZip (RFC 1952). It is designed to encode and compress HTML content at once.

compress - Optimized compression packages

•    Go

This package is based on an optimized Deflate function, which is used by gzip/zip/zlib packages. It offers slightly better compression at lower compression settings, and up to 3x faster encoding at highest compression level.

zlib-ng - zlib replacement with optimizations for "next generation" systems.

•    C

The motivation for this fork was due to seeing several 3rd party contributions containing new optimizations not getting implemented into the official zlib repository. Mark Adler has been maintaining zlib for a very long time, and he has done a great job and hopefully he will continue for a long time yet. The idea of zlib-ng is not to replace zlib, but to co-exist as a drop-in replacement with a lower threshold for code change.

Zopfli - Compression library from Google

•    C++

Zopfli Compression Algorithm is a compression library programmed in C to perform very good, but slow, deflate or zlib compression. The basic function to compress data is ZopfliCompress in zopfli.h. Use the ZopfliOptions object to set parameters that affect the speed and compression. Use the ZopfliInitOptions function to place the default values in the ZopfliOptions first.

LZF Compressor- High-performance, streaming/chunking Java LZF codec, compatible with standard C LZF package

•    Java

LZF-compress is a Java library for encoding and decoding data in LZF format, written by Tatu Saloranta. LZF alfgorithm itself is optimized for speed, with somewhat more modest compression. Compared to the standard Deflate (algorithm gzip uses) LZF can be 5-6 times as fast to compress, and twice as fast to decompress. Compression rate is lower since no Huffman-encoding is used after lempel-ziv substring elimintation.

miniz - miniz: Single C source file zlib-replacement library, originally from code

•    C

Miniz is a lossless, high performance data compression library in a single source file that implements the zlib (RFC 1950) and Deflate (RFC 1951) compressed data format specification standards. It supports the most commonly used functions exported by the zlib library, but is a completely independent implementation so zlib's licensing requirements do not apply. Miniz also contains simple to use functions for writing .PNG format image files and reading/writing/appending .ZIP format archives. Miniz's compression speed has been tuned to be comparable to zlib's, and it also has a specialized real-time compressor function designed to compare well against fastlz/minilzo. Please use the files from the releases page in your projects. Do not use the git checkout directly! The different source and header files are amalgamated into one miniz.c/miniz.h pair in a build step (amalgamate.sh). Include miniz.c and miniz.h in your project to use Miniz.

SharpCompress - a fully native C# library for RAR, 7Zip, Zip, Tar, GZip, BZip2

•    CSharp

SharpCompress is a compression library for .NET/Mono/Silverlight/WP7 that can unrar, un7zip, unzip, untar unbzip2 and ungzip with forward-only reading and file random access APIs. Write support for zip/tar/bzip2/gzip is implemented. The major feature is support for non-seek...

Snappy Java - Snappy compressor/decompressor for Java

•    Java

snappy-java is a Java port of the snappy, a fast C++ compresser/decompresser developed by Google. It does fast compression/decompression around 200~400MB/sec, Less memory usage. SnappyOutputStream uses only 32KB+ in default, Compression/decompression of Java primitive arrays (float[], double[], int[], short[], long[], etc.) and lot more.

PeaZip - Cross-platform file and archive manager

•    Pascal

PeaZip is a free file archiver utility and rar extractor for Windows and Linux, work with 150+ archive types and variants (7z, ace, arc, bz2, cab, gz, iso, paq, pea, rar, tar, wim, zip, zipx...), handle spanned archives and support multiple archive encryption standards. The project aims to provide a cross-platform, portable, GUI frontend for multiple Open Source technologies (7-Zip, FreeArc, PAQ, PEA, UPX) focused on file and archive management, and security

JZlib - Zlib in Java

JZlib is a re-implementation of zlib in pure Java. JZlib can inflate data, which is deflated by zlib and JZlib can generate deflated data, which is acceptable and is inflated by zlib. JZlib supports all compression level and all flushing mode in zlib.

SharpZipLib - Compression Library in CSharp

•    CSharp

#ziplib (SharpZipLib, formerly NZipLib) is a Zip, GZip, Tar and BZip2 library written entirely in C# for the .NET platform. It is implemented as an assembly (installable in the GAC), and thus can easily be incorporated into other projects (in any .NET language).

zlib - A Massively Spiffy Yet Delicately Unobtrusive Compression Library

•    C

zlib is a general purpose data compression library. All the code is thread safe. It is ported to different programming languages like Java, CSharp, Python and Perl.

node-unzip - node.js cross-platform unzip using streams

•    Javascript

Streaming cross-platform unzip tool written in node.js. Unzip provides simple APIs similar to node-tar for parsing and extracting zip files. There are no added compiled dependencies - inflation is handled by node.js's built in zlib support. Unzip is also an example use case of node-pullstream.

oppressor - streaming http compression response negotiator

•    Javascript

Return a duplex stream that will be compressed with gzip, deflate, or no compression depending on the accept-encoding headers sent.oppressor will emulate calls to http.ServerResponse methods like writeHead() so that modules like filed that expect to be piped directly to the response object will work.
