The CompressionFormat property allows you to specify the Compression Format object that the library will use to determine the data format to compress to or to decompress from.
When the library is compressing data, the value of this property determines the desired output format of the compressed data. The various supported data formats mainly differ by the type of compression algorithm the library will use to compress the data as well as which checksum (such as Adler-32 or CRC or none) type to embed into the compressed data.
When the library is decompressing data, the value of this property informs the library which format the data to decompress was created with.
It is also possible to assign a Compression Method object to this property, if you need to read or write data as "raw" Deflate , Deflate64 or BZip2 compressed data without any header information or checksums. In Java's java.util.zip class for example, this is equivalent to using a DeflateOutputStream or an InflateInputStream.
