Zlib

Zlib is a software library used for data compression and decompression. It helps reduce the size of files or data streams, making them easier to store and transmit over networks. By compressing data, Zlib improves efficiency and saves bandwidth, which is particularly useful for web applications and file storage. It uses popular algorithms like DEFLATE to achieve this compression, striking a balance between speed and compression ratio. Zlib is widely used in various applications, including web browsers and software, to ensure faster loading times and more efficient data handling.
