Is this possible to simply extract the content of a journal.zst file?

Hello Splunkers, I have a quick question,

Is this possible to simply extract the content of a journal.zst file ? Is it encrypted in some way or should I be able to retrieve the whole raw data out of it ?

The journal file is located here : <index_path>/db/hot_<whatever>/rawdata/journal.zst

Thanks a lot,
