**Zstd**, short for Zstandard, is a fast lossless compression algorithm,
__Zstandard__, or `zstd` as short version, is a fast lossless compression algorithm,
targeting real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and better compression ratios.
It is provided as an open-source BSD-licensed **C** library.
It is provided as an open-source BSD-licensed **C** library,
