A Go library providing parallel gzip compression and decompression as a drop-in replacement for the standard compress/gzip package. It splits data into blocks compressed concurrently and reads ahead during decompression, producing fully standard gzip files.
Use cases
- compress large files faster with multiple CPU cores
- speed up gzip decompression of big data streams
- replace compress/gzip in Go code without changing output format
- parallelize gzip compression in data pipelines
- reduce blocking when reading gzip streams
When to choose
- you are compressing or decompressing large amounts of data (over 1MB at a time) in Go
- you need standard gzip-compatible output with parallel speedups
- you want a drop-in replacement for compress/gzip
When to avoid
- you are compressing small payloads under 1MB where parallelism adds overhead
- you need seeking within compressed files (consider bgzf)
- you need maximum single-threaded compression ratios (consider klauspost/compress)
