**Compression and decompression in the gzip and zlib format**
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.
