Recursor - Advanced Compression
Introducing Recursor - a next-generation compression engine
Recursor — High-Structure "Middle-Out" Compression Engine
A next-generation, structure-aware compressor that exploits patterns across diverse data formats. Understand structure FIRST, then compress.
What Makes Recursor Different?
Traditional compressors (gzip, zstd, brotli) treat all data as random bytes. Recursor understands the semantic structure of your data:
- CSV files: Content-defined chunking with row-group deduplication
- Code: Template extraction, pattern recognition across files
- Images: Block-based deduplication, palette quantization
- Audio: LPC (Linear Predictive Coding) + Rice coding + stereo decorrelation
The result: lossless compression that beats industry standards by exploiting high-level patterns.
Proven Results
| Data Type | Size | Baseline | Recursor | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CSV (1M rows) | 174 MB | 60 MB (zstd-19) | 32 MB | 5.18x better |
| Code (36 JS files) | 144 KB | 3.3 KB (tar.gz) | 611 bytes | 16.9x better |
| Images (patterns) | - | 4,513 bytes (PNG) | 425 bytes | 10.6x better |
| Audio (synthetic) | 882 KB | 166 KB (FLAC -8) | 140 KB | 18.4% better than FLAC |
