gozstd - go wrapper for zstd

Features

  • Vendors upstream zstd without any modifications.

  • Simple API.

  • Optimized for speed. The API may be easily used in zero allocations mode.

  • Compress* and Decompress* functions are optimized for high concurrency.

  • Proper Writer.Flush for network apps.

  • Supports the following features from upstream zstd:

    • Block / stream compression / decompression with all the supported compression levels and with dictionary support.
    • Dictionary building from a sample set. The created dictionary may be saved to persistent storage / transfered over the network.
    • Dictionary loading for compression / decompression.

    Pull requests for missing upstream zstd features are welcome.
