I’ve used tinf (tiny inflate) library for a while now for decompressing deflate stream in my program. It is considerably smaller than the full blown zlib which does both compression and decompression.
Tinf is suitable where space is largely taken into consideration. It is compact enough to include within your software project. The drawback is that tinf is slightly slower than it’s zlib inflate() counterpart. Of course this assumes that you are a C-coder and does lots of software development in C, in which you would benefit directly from tinf library.
