ZStandard is an efficient format that works well for streaming with a flexible compression level to tweak the speed/performance trade off you are looking for. We currently only implement decompression for ZStandard but as we leverage the ZstdSharp library one could likely add compression support without much trouble (PRs are welcome!).

A Simple Request

Hi everyone. I hope you're using SharpCompress and finding it useful. Please give me feedback on what you'd like to see changed especially as far as usability goes. New feature suggestions are always welcome as well. I would also like to know what projects SharpCompress is being used in. I like seeing how it is used to give me ideas for future versions. Thanks!

Please do not email me directly to ask for help. If you think there is a real issue, please report it here.

Want to contribute?

I'm always looking for help or ideas. Please submit code or email with ideas. Unfortunately, just letting me know you'd like to help is not enough because I really have no overall plan of what needs to be done. I'll definitely accept code submissions and add you as a member of the project!
