JNI bindings for the Zstandard (Zstd) lossless compression library, usable from Java and all JVM languages including Android. It exposes static compress/decompress methods and InputStream/OutputStream implementations compatible with the zstd tool, with the native library embedded in the JAR.

Use cases

• compress and decompress data with zstd from Java
• transparently compress streams via InputStream/OutputStream
• add fast lossless compression to an Android app
• reduce storage or network payload size in JVM services
• read and write zstd-format files from Scala or Kotlin

When to choose

• you need Zstd compression from Java, Kotlin, or Scala with minimal setup
• you want a dependency-free JAR with embedded native binaries
• you need Android support for zstd
• you want stream-based compression compatible with the zstd CLI

When to avoid

• you need support for legacy zstd formats (0.4-0.7)
• you plan to rename, minimize, or relocate the Java classes (breaks native linking)
• you need pure-Java compression without native libraries
