How does Go handle data compression and decompression?

Go provides support for several compression and decompression algorithms through its standard library. Here are some of the commonly used ones:

gzip - Go provides support for reading and writing gzip files using the **compress/gzip** package.

zlib - Go provides support for reading and writing zlib format data using the **compress/zlib** package.

deflate - Go provides support for the deflate compression algorithm using the **compress/flate** package.

snappy - Go provides support for the snappy compression and decompression algorithm using the **github.com/golang/snappy** package.

brotli - Go provides support for the brotli compression algorithm using the **github.com/kothar/brotli-go** package.

These packages provide functions for compressing and decompressing data in memory as well as reading and writing compressed data to files. They also provide options for controlling the compression level and other parameters.
