About the project
A collection of optimized pure-Go compression algorithm implementations: zstd, S2, deflate, snappy, lzw, huff0, FSE, plus gzhttp HTTP wrappers and parallel pgzip. Packages are drop-in replacements for Go's standard gzip, zip, zlib and snappy.
Useful for
- Swap compress/gzip for flate to speed up compression without code changes
- Enable zstd in an HTTP service via gzhttp for request and response compression
- Use pgzip for parallel gzip compression of large files

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 27, 2026, 12:50 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-27 (UTC), 11:42–12:49: 5702 → 5703 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +2 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- GitHub Trending Go today: #20, +3 stars.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 15. -17% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
