		This package provides a pure interface for compressing and
		decompressing streams of data represented as lazy
		&#39;ByteString&#39;s. It uses the
		&lt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zlib zlib C library&gt;
		so it has high performance. It supports the \&quot;zlib\&quot;,
		\&quot;gzip\&quot; and \&quot;raw\&quot; 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.
