Everything about Zlib
Data format and compression library
zlib is a data format and a lossless data compression software library created by Jean-Loup Gailly and Mark Adler. The library implements the Deflate algorithm and supports compressing and decompressing data using the zlib data format, the gzip file format, or simply as a Deflate stream. Wikipedia →
