'''NanoZip''' is an upcoming [[file archiver]] currently in alpha state of development.
The project goal is the highest possible compression efficiency.
It is a single program that uses several different novel compression algorithms.
According to benchmarks
<ref>http://www.maximumcompression.com/data/summary_mf2.php#data</ref>
<ref>http://www.l1957.ru/freesoft/test-arkhivatorov/archiver-test/</ref>
it currently is one of the fastest and most efficient of all known file
archivers.
The archiver is based on original compression technology that uses
[[Burrows–Wheeler transform]]. It uses a novel sorting algorithm requiring
4n space for computing BWT.
