This module provides classes and functions for compressing and decompressing data using the Zstandard (or zstd) compression algorithm. The zstd manual < describes Zstandard as "a fast lossless compression algorithm, targeting real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and better compression ratios." Also included is a file interface that supports reading and writing the contents of .zst files created by the zstd utility, as well as raw zstd compressed streams.
The !compression.zstd module contains
The .open function and ZstdFile class for reading and writing compressed files. The ZstdCompressor and ZstdDecompressor classes for incremental (de)compression. The compress and decompress functions for one-shot (de)compression. The train_dict and finaliz
