When dealing with large volumes of data, compression can be a critical factor in enhancing performance, reducing storage costs, and speeding up network transfers. In this blog post, we will dive into a comparison of four popular Python compression libraries—zlib, LZ4, Brotli, and Zstandard—using a real-world dataset to evaluate their performance in terms of compression ratio and time efficiency.
The Experiment Setup
Our test involved a dataset roughly 581 KB in size, named sample_data.json. We executed compression and …
