Zstandard - Fast real-time compression algorithm

What is facebook/zstd?

facebook/zstd is a repository whose own project materials describe it as Zstandard - Fast real-time compression algorithm Zstandard , or zstd as short version, is a fast lossless compression algorithm, targeting real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and better compression ratios. It's backed by a very fast entropy stage. This Graphify demo keeps facebook/zstd as the primary keyword while adding source-derived context, README signals, and an interactive code graph for deeper exploration.
