LZ4 compression library explodes with 300 new stars
What is lz4?
LZ4 is an open-source lossless compression library that can compress data at over 500 MB/s per CPU core and decompress at several GB/s. It offers a tunable acceleration factor for speed versus size and a high-compression mode called LZ4_HC.
Who it is for
Any developer building low-latency pipelines, caches, or storage can drop LZ4 in to move data faster without slowing down reads.
