Fields

Name	Value	Description
LZ4	256	The LZ4 compression format.
LZ4Raw	257	The LZ4 compression format, without block headers.
Zlib	517	The zlib compression format. This is the compression format most compatible with other platforms. The encoder in the Compression framework only supports level 5. The decoder supports all compression levels.
Lzma	774	The Lempel–Ziv–Markov (LZMA) compression format. The encoder in the Compression framework only supports level 6. The decoder supports all compression levels.
LZBitmap	1794	The LZBitmap compression format. This compression algorithm is only available on Apple devices.
Lzfse	2049	The Lempel–Ziv Finite State Entropy (LZFSE) compression format. This is the format Apple recommends on Apple platforms.
Brotli	2818	The Brotli compression format. The encoder in the Compression framework only supports the Brotli level 2 encoder. The decoder supports all compression levels.
