`zstd` and `zlib` as the only 2 supported formats would be enough for me (zstd for state of the art, fast compression and decompression, with choice of high compression ratios if needed; and zlib for backward compatibility/portability), but others may disagree and want their own favourite compression format there.
OTOH if you use zstd that already has multiple file capability built-in, so you don't gain much by using sqlite (unless zstd were to adopt sqlite as.its storage format...).
- edwintorok 5y agoActually looks like if you pass multiple files to zstd it'll compress them individually, it won't create an archive, so tar or sqlite format would still be useful there.
