Universal.Common.IO.Compression

Compression codecs with no third-party package dependencies: Deflate, Gzip, Zlib, LZ4, LZMA (classic and Unity-header variants), and Zstandard.

Self-describing formats implement ICompressionAlgorithm. Deflate, Gzip, and Zlib also implement IStreamingCompressionAlgorithm. Raw LZ4 blocks implement ISizedCompressionAlgorithm because their uncompressed size is supplied separately.

Quickstart

// LZ4 (ISizedCompressionAlgorithm - raw block format needs the original size to decompress)
Lz4CompressionAlgorithm lz4 = new Lz4CompressionAlgorithm();
byte[] lz4Compressed = lz4.Compress(data);
byte[] lz4Restored = lz4.Decompress(lz4Compressed, data.Length);

// LZMA, Zstandard, Deflate, Gzip, Zlib
LzmaCompressionAlgorithm lzma = new LzmaCompressionAlgorithm();
byte[] lzmaCompressed = lzma.Compress(data);
byte[] lzmaRestored = lzma.Decompress(lzmaCompressed);

ZstdCompressionAlgorithm zstd = new ZstdCompressionAlgorithm();
byte[] restored2 = zstd.Decompress(zstdCompressedBytes);

IStreamingCompressionAlgorithm zlib = new ZlibCompressionAlgorithm();
using Stream decompressor = zlib.CreateDecompressionStream(compressedInput);
decompressor.CopyTo(output);

Status

  • LZ4, LZMA (+ Unity's own header variant): full encode and decode, verified byte-for-byte in both directions against independent real-world implementations (lz4js, Python's lzma module).
  • Zstandard: full decoder (frame/block parsing, FSE with predefined or custom tables, Huffman-coded literals, sequence execution) - verified against real Zstandard-compressed data, including actual Figma-exported .fig files. The encoder currently emits valid, standards-compliant frames using Raw/RLE blocks only (real data any conforming decoder reads correctly, just not entropy-coded) - full FSE/Huffman encoding is its own follow-up.
  • Deflate, Gzip, Zlib: streaming encode and decode. Zlib validates its header and Adler-32 checksum and supports non-seekable inputs.
