  "abstract": "Zstandard, or \"zstd\" (pronounced \"zee standard\"), is a lossless data compression mechanism. This document describes the mechanism and registers a media type, content encoding, and a structured syntax suffix to be used when transporting zstd-compressed content via MIME.\n\nDespite use of the word \"standard\" as part of Zstandard, readers are advised that this document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is being published for informational purposes only.\n\nThis document replaces and obsoletes RFC 8478.",
