From the author

Excerpt from the author's description on CurseForge

Compression and Decompression library

LibCompress is a compression and decompression library implemented entirely in WoW-friendly Lua. It supports the LZW and Huffman algorithms, the deflate based formats offered by Blizzard (raw deflate, zlib and gzip), a byte delta and a run-length prefilter, and it can automatically choose the most efficient combination for your data. One popular usage for this library is to send a compressed table to another player or add-on.
