HOPE is a fast dictionary-based compressor that encodes arbitrary byte-strings while preserving their order. It is optimized for compressing database index keys. Detailed description can be found in our SIGMOD paper.
SDefl is a small bare bone lossless compression library in ANSI C (ISO C90) that implements the Deflate (RFC 1951) compressed data format specification standard.
LZ4 - Extremely fast compression
LZ4 is lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed > 500 MB/s per core, scalable with multi-cores CPU. It features an extremely fast decoder, with speed in multiple GB
Zstandard, or zstd as short version, is a fast lossless compression algorithm, targeting real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and better compression ratios. It's backed by a very fast entropy stage, provided by Huff0 an
