+#' Write out a Dataset JSON Compressed (DSJC) file
+#'
+#' Writes the compressed representation of Dataset JSON: the Dataset NDJSON
+#' content of the dataset, compressed as a zLib stream. The format carries no
+#' wrapper of its own - the file is the zLib stream and nothing else - and uses
+#' the `.dsjc` extension.
+#'
+#' @details
+#'
+#' Rows are compressed as they are serialized, so writing a large dataset never
+#' holds its uncompressed NDJSON in memory.
+#'
+#' The default `level = 9` follows the specification's recommendation for data
+#' exchange. Note that the top of the range buys little: on a 26 MB dataset,
+#' level 1 wrote in a fifth of the time for a file only 4% larger. If write
+#' time matters more than the last few percent, a lower level is a reasonable
+#' choice. Read time is unaffected by the level used to write.
+#'
+#' @param x datasetjson object
+#' @param file File path to save the DSJC file. If not provided, the compressed
+#'   bytes are returned as a raw vector.
+#' @param float_as_decimals If TRUE, write float variables as "decimal" data
+#'   types. This is an interoperability choice; it is not needed for precision,
+#'   as numbers are written at full precision either way, and setting it raises
+#'   a warning to that effect.
+#' @param level zLib compression level, 0 (none) to 9 (maximum). Defaults to 9,
+#'   which the specification recommends for data exchange. Lower levels
+#'   compress faster and less.
+#' @param digits Deprecated and ignored. See `write_dataset_json()`.
+#'
+#' @return NULL when writing to a file, otherwise a raw vector
