This package provides a pure interface for compressing and decompressing
streams of data represented as lazy 'ByteString's. It uses the zlib
C library so it has high performance. It supports the "zlib", "gzip"
and "raw" compression formats.
It provides a convenient high level API suitable for most tasks and
for the few cases where more control is needed it provides access
to the full zlib feature set.
