BriefLZ

Small LZ compression implementation

BriefLZ is a small Lempel-Ziv (LZ) compression implementation. The whole codebase is ~3000 LOC, but the function (not counting the optional lookup tables) for compressing data is 147 LOC and for decompressing is 61 LOC. It's comparable to programs such as lz, zlib, or brotli.
