OpenZL is nice, but it's often less useful than you think - it requires that you know the structure of your data, and don't care about inspecting that data outside of your program. I've extracted one too many png files from a word document (by renaming .docx to .zip) to desire OpenZL everywhere... It might be better as a short-term "data in transit" compression than for long term storage.
- pella 3mo agoPlease check the OpenZL v0.2 + Silesia corpus benchmark. "OpenZL to offer 10% faster compression speed and 70% faster decompression speed compared to Zstandard level 1 on the Silesia corpus in our benchmarks." "OpenZL now ships its own LZ codec, exposed as ZL_GRAPH_LZ, and the serial profile in zli. It is still being actively developed to expand its feature set and improve performance on small inputs." https://github.com/facebook/openzl/releases/tag/v0.2.0 https://github.com/facebook/openzl/releases/tag/v0.2.0
