Zstandard, often abbreviated as Zstd, is a fast compression algorithm developed by Facebook. It is designed to provide a high compression ratio while maintaining fast compression and decompression speeds, making it suitable for a variety of applications including data storage, transmission, and real-time systems. Some key features of Zstd include: 1. **High Compression Ratios**: Zstd is capable of compressing data significantly, similar to other algorithms like zlib and LZMA, but often with better performance.
