Zlib

A free, lossless data compression lib for use on virtually any computer hardware and operating system. The zlib data format is itself portable across platforms. The compression method currently used in zlib never expands the data. Zlib's memory footprint is also independent of the input data by more than a few bytes and can be reduced (at some cost in compression).
