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.
