About:
CRC32C is a high-performance library implementing the CRC32C checksum algorithm. It leverages hardware-specific acceleration like SSE 4.2 and ARM NEON to provide extremely fast checksum calculations. This makes it ideal for high-throughput applications requiring data integrity verification.

Key Features:

Hardware-accelerated checksums using SSE4.2 and ARM NEON
Portable fallback software implementation
C++ API with C wrapper support
Optimized for performance-critical applications

Use Cases:

Data integrity verification in storage systems
High-performance networking applications
Database checksumming and deduplication

Alternatives:

zlib – Zlib provides CRC32 but lacks hardware acceleration and is generally slower for CRC32C specifically
libarchive – Includes CRC implementations but is a larger dependency focused on archive operations
