Package archive provides helper functions for dealing with archive files.

This package provides a library for encoding and decoding ZIP archive format's "Extra Fields". The intention is to eventually support and provide a low-level API for the majority of PKWARE's and Info-ZIP's extra fields.

This package is a brotli compressor and decompressor implemented in Go. It was translated from the reference implementation (https://github.com/google/brotli) with the c2go tool at https://github.com/andybalholm/c2go.

This package implements a seekable version of gzip-format compressed files, compliant with RFC 1952. This implementation allows seeking in the compressed file. In normal gzip files that can only be achieved by decompressing from the start and discarding all data until the selected offset. This gzip implementation works around this by creating a special metadata file that maps uncompressed blocks to compressed blocks allowing it to only read the compressed blocks required.

This package defines basic interfaces to handle tar files. It is similar to fs.FS, but for tar files.

Package compress is a collection of compression libraries implementing Golang modules:

brotli

Implements the Brotli format, described in RFC 7932.

bzip2

Implements the BZip2 compressed data format.

flate

Implements the DEFLATE format, described in RFC 1951.

xflate

Implements the XFLATE format, an random-access extension to DEFLATE.

This package implements parallel gzip compression and decompression in Golang and is fully compatible with compress/gzip from the standard library. This is beneficial for large amounts of data, say more than 1MB at a time, as otherwise the internal gzip library will likely be faster.

This package implements a native XZ decompression in Golang.

This package provides a Go wrapper to zstd C library.

Fastzip is an opinionated Zip archiver and extractor with a focus on speed. Features:

• archiving and extraction of files and directories can only occur within a specified directory

• permissions, ownership (uid, gid on linux/unix) and modification times are preserved

• buffers used for copying files are recycled to reduce allocations

• files are archived and extracted concurrently

• by default, github.com/klauspost/compress/flate library is used for compression and decompression

This package provides a library for reading RAR archives with Golang.

lz4 provides a streaming interface to LZ4 data streams as well as low level compress and uncompress functions for LZ4 data blocks. The implementation is based on the reference C one.

This package provides an enhanced version of the compress/lzw library included in the stdlib, and supports GIF, TIFF and PDF.

This package implements a functionality for pristinely disassembling a tar archive, and stashing needed raw bytes and offsets to reassemble a validating original archive.

Package archiver facilitates convenient, cross-platform, high-level archival and compression operations for a variety of formats and compression algorithms.

Features:

• stream-oriented APIs

• automatically identify archive and compression formats

• traverse directories, archive files, and any other file uniformly as io/fs file systems

• compress and decompress files

• create and extract archive files

• walk or traverse into archive files

• extract only specific files from archives

• insert (append) into .tar and .zip archives

• read from password-protected 7-Zip files

• numerous archive and compression formats supported

• extensible (add more formats just by registering them)

• cross-platform, static binary

• pure Golang (no cgo)

• multithreaded Gzip

• adjust compression levels

• automatically add compressed files to zip archives without re-compressing

• open password-protected rar archives

Supported compression formats:

• brotli (.br)

• .rar (read-only)

• .7z (read-only)

This package provides an command line interface (CLI) tool.

lz4 provides a streaming interface to LZ4 data streams as well as low level compress and uncompress functions for LZ4 data blocks. The implementation is based on the reference C one. This package provides an additional command line interface tool to compress and decompress LZ4 files.

This package provides a support of reading and writing of xz compressed streams. It includes also a gxz command for compressing and decompressing data. The package is completely written in Go and doesn't have any dependency on any C code.

This package provides a Go implementation of the Snappy compression format.
