Description

Adds a library for creating and reading .zar archives compressed with zstd. Developers use it when applications need archive containers with efficient compression and structured access.

It is a library dependency, not a general archive manager. Applications still need careful path handling, size limits, and validation when extracting archives from untrusted sources.
