Compression

The Go standard library also supports compression, which is different than archiving. Often, archiving and compressing are combined to package a large number of files in to a single compact file. The most common format is probably the .tar.gz file, which is a gzipped tar ball. Do not confuse zip and gzip as they are two different things.

The Go standard library has support for multiple compression algorithms:

bzip2: bzip2 format
flate: DEFLATE (RFC 1951)
gzip: gzip format (RFC 1952)
lzw: Lempel-Ziv-Welch format from A Technique for High-Performance Data Compression, Computer, 17(6) (June 1984), pp 8-19
zlib: zlib format (RFC 1950)

Read more about each package at https://golang.org/pkg/compress/. These examples use gzip compression, but it should be easy to interchange any of the above packages.
