+summary: Zstandard - Fast real-time compression algorithm
+description: |
+  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's backed by a very fast entropy stage, provided by
+  Huff0 and FSE library
