gzinspector

I published an open source tool “gzinspector” to inspect gzip streams - specifically those encoded with many chunks.

A robust command-line tool for inspecting and analyzing GZIP/ZLIB compressed files. GZInspector provides detailed information about compression chunks, headers, and content previews with support for both human-readable and JSON output formats.

I did this due to the work I’ve been doing for CommonCrawl - specifically around processing “ZipNum” format CDXJ indexes.

If you find it useful, let me know (reach out or star it on github.)
