Node.js API compatibility - Zlib

The zlib module in Node.js provides a set of compression and decompression utilities for handling data in various formats. It’s built on the zlib library, which is widely used for data compression, and allows developers to efficiently compress and decompress data streams, making it essential for optimizing storage and network transmission.
