[Feature request] Support for Zstandard compression

Open apcamargo opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Zstandard compression is becoming increasingly popular, and its fast read times make it a convenient choice for storing tabular data. Files compressed in the .zst format offer both space savings and quick reading, which is particularly beneficial for managing large datasets.

The polars provides built-in support for reading .zst. Additionally, zstdlite offers several functions to work with Zstandard within R.
