Editing Zlib (section)

=== Forks ===
A commonly used library built on an old codebase, zlib is also frequently [[Fork (software development)|forked]] by third-parties that claim improvements to this library:
* [[Intel]] has a high-performance fork of zlib.<ref>{{cite web |title=github Intel ZLIB |url=https://github.com/intel/zlib |website=github |access-date=25 January 2024 |language=en |date=25 January 2024 |archive-date=25 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240125130250/https://github.com/intel/zlib |url-status=live }}</ref>
* [[Cloudflare]] maintains a high-performance fork with "massive" improvements.<ref>{{cite web |title=Fighting Cancer: The Unexpected Benefit Of Open Sourcing Our Code |url=https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-fights-cancer/ |website=The Cloudflare Blog |language=en |date=8 July 2015 |access-date=18 January 2020 |archive-date=21 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190921164235/https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-fights-cancer/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
* zlib-ng is a zlib replacement fork for "next generation" systems. It removes workaround code for compilers that do not support [[ANSI C]], integrates Cloudflare and Intel optimizations, adds [[hardware acceleration]] ([[SIMD]] and [[intrinsic function]]s), and uses [[code sanitizer]]s, [[fuzzing]], and [[code coverage]] to help find bugs.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Rosbach |first1=HK |title=zlib-ng/zlib-ng: zlib replacement with optimizations for "next generation" systems. |url=https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng |website=GitHub |publisher=zlib-ng |date=24 February 2023 |access-date=18 January 2020 |archive-date=20 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200420024701/https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng |url-status=live }}</ref>
