Description

🙋 Feature Request

Support a zstd compressor.

🔦 Context

Currently, gzip and brotli compressors are supported, for producing .gz and .br files for text assets. As of 8 months ago, chrome now supports zstd-compressed assets.

It would be nice if a zstd compressor could be supported as well, to benefit from this. Of course, doing so also depends on how the website is being served, but that is out of scope for parcel.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing gzip and brotli compressor implementations in the Parcel codebase (likely in packages/core/parcel/src/compressors/). Understand how they integrate with the build pipeline and plugin system. Then implement a similar compressor for ZSTD using the 'zstd' npm package. Ensure compatibility with asset types and test thoroughly.
