gz
What is a .gz file?
application/gzip
GZ is a file compressed with gzip, using the DEFLATE algorithm within a simple single-stream container that stores one compressed file plus a small header and checksum. It compresses a single stream rather than bundling multiple files. It is ubiquitous for compressing logs, tarballs, and HTTP responses.
How to use a .gz file
Use an example GZ to test gzip decompression, streaming inflate, checksum verification, and pipelines that transparently handle gzip-encoded content.
