Decompress without writing to disk

[gsbr12]

Is it possible to decompress without writing to disk using memory. I'm not sure which compression libraries support that . Basically what i am trying is to read data from compressed file.Need help on this whether its possible or not. Thanks.

yes, it's possible with almost any compression library i know

[gsbr12]

can you suggest some good ones?

[Bulat Ziganshin]

lzma, zstd, bsc - best in terms of speed/compression ratio

How can a c++ program read data from a compressed file, which is created using one of the compression algorithms you mentioned?
