i’m writing project that stores data, so i need to compress it. I’ve tried zlib but it’s bottleneck of my project. So maybe there is faster solution. I don’t need a great compress ratio, but i’m looking for really fast compression. Are there any other data compression libraries except zlib, that are really free and can be used in proprietary software (project, i’m working on, isn’t GPL-based). My project is on C++ and I need to compress char* arrays of text.
Here are a few:
FastLZ — fast and lightweight, MIT license unless you want to use it under a GPL license
LZJB — also fast and pretty lightweight, used as default compression algorithm for Sun’s ZFS
