About:
Snappystream is a C++ library that provides a stream-based interface for the Snappy compression algorithm. It allows for efficient, real-time compression and decompression of data streams, making it ideal for high-performance applications. The library is designed to be compatible with the standard Snappy format, ensuring interoperability.
Key Features:
  • Stream-based compression and decompression
  • High performance and low latency
  • Compatible with standard Snappy format
  • C++ library integration
Use Cases:
  • Real-time data logging and storage
  • High-speed network data transfer
  • Database compression
Alternatives:
  • zlib – Provides higher compression ratios but is significantly slower than Snappy.
  • LZ4 – Similar performance goals to Snappy, often a direct alternative with slightly different trade-offs.
