Consider switching to a smaller ZIP library

[101arrowz]

Over the past few months, I've developed fflate. It's a ZIP library that would replace JSZip, but it's much faster and an order of magnitude smaller. You can check the demo and see the benchmarks within the library to see this for yourself. Let me know if you'd be interested in switching, and I'll draft a PR.

Does it work on node and on the browser?

Edit: found out it does, nice

I am unsure about the switch though JSZip is mature and battle tested, whereas fflate seems a bit new

Yes, that is true, it's quite a new library. But many major projects have already switched, and I usually fix issues within a day.

• Three.js
• rrweb
• PostHog (backend here)
• SheetJS soon plans to switch (listed in dependencies)
• A few others, e.g. Polkadot.js

ZIP compression is the most well-tested function in the library, and I haven't gotten any bugs related to it yet. ZIP decompression has had a few issues, but they weren't too hard to fix.

I will re-open if in the future if need be. But at the moment, it's a no for now

Thanks very much for your contribution though to this lib and open source in general though, I appreciate it.
