+/// * `Uncompress` - Uncompressed/raw file format
+/// * `Gzip` - Standard gzip compression (.gz files)
+/// * `Bgzip` - Blocked gzip format, commonly used in bioinformatics
+/// * `Zip` - ZIP archive format
+/// * `Bzip2` - bzip2 compression format
+/// * `Xz` - XZ compression format (LZMA2)
+/// * `Zstd` - Zstandard compression format
+/// * `Unknown` - Unknown or unrecognized compression format
