Decompress
A pure OCaml library implementing DEFLATE, Zlib, Gzip, and LZO compression/decompression algorithms.
What is Decompress?
Decompress is a pure OCaml library that implements several standard compression and decompression algorithms, including DEFLATE, Zlib, Gzip, and LZO. It provides a portable, dependency-free solution for handling compressed data within OCaml applications, particularly in environments where external C libraries are undesirable or unavailable.
OCaml developers working on systems requiring compression/decompression, especially those targeting MirageOS unikernels, JavaScript compilation via js_of_ocaml, or projects needing fine-grained control over memory and I/O.
Developers choose Decompress for its pure OCaml implementation, which eliminates C dependencies and ensures cross-platform compatibility, combined with its low-level control over allocation and non-blocking I/O for high-performance and resource-efficient applications.
