OpenZL: An open source format-aware compression framework
OpenZL is a new open source data compression framework that offers lossless compression for structured data. OpenZL is designed to offer the performance of a format-specific compressor with the easy maintenance of a single executable binary. You can get started with OpenZL today by visiting our Quick Start guide and the OpenZL GitHub repository. Learn more about the theory behind OpenZL in this whitepaper. Today, we are excited to announce the public release of OpenZL, a new data compression framework. OpenZL offers lossless compression for structured data, with performance comparable to specialized compressors. It accomplishes this by applying a configurable sequence of transforms to the input, revealing hidden order in the data, which can then be more…
