GZIP: A file compressed with one of the unpatented ZLIB algorithms. Unlike a ZIP or JAR file, a GZIP file is a single stream, not broken up into members. You can create or read them with the classes in java.util.zip. GZIPOutputStream may often be combined with an ObjectOutputStream to compress serialised objects.
