Zstandard, or "zstd" (pronounced "zee standard"), is a lossless data
compression mechanism. This document describes the mechanism and
registers a media type, content encoding, and a structured syntax
suffix to be used when transporting zstd-compressed content via MIME.
Despite use of the word "standard" as part of Zstandard, readers are
advised that this document is not an Internet Standards Track
specification; it is being published for informational purposes only.
This document replaces and obsoletes RFC 8478.
