+PyJData supports multiple N-D array data compression/decompression methods (i.e. codecs), similar
+to HDF5 filters. The currently supported filters include `zlib`, `gzip`, `lz4`, `lzma`, and various
+`blosc2` compression methods, including `blosc2blosclz`, `blosc2lz4`, `blosc2lz4hc`, `blosc2zlib`,
+`blosc2zstd`. To apply a selected compression method, one simply set `{'compression':'method'}` as
+the option to `jdata.encode` or `jdata.save` function; `jdata.load` or `jdata.decode` automatically
+decompress the data based on the `_ArrayZipType_` annotation present in the data. Only `blosc2`
+compression methods support multi-threading. To set the thread number, one should define a `nthread`
+value in the option for both encoding and decoding.

 ## Utility
 
 One can convert from JSON based data files (`.json, .jdt, .jnii, .jmsh, .jnirs`) to binary-JData
