The Snappy compression format in the Go programming language.

This is a high-performance Go compression library providing implementations of Zstandard, Snappy, and Huffman coding. It includes a parallel compression framework for distributing gzip and stream workloads across multiple CPU cores and a specialized Huffman codec optimized for modern CPU architectures. The library features a Zstandard implementation that supports custom dictionaries and allocation-free decoding, alongside a Snappy compatible encoder for high-throughput data processing. It provides specific tools for dictionary generation and optimization to improve compression ratios for smal

Archiver is a multi-format archive library and command-line tool for creating, extracting, and managing compressed archives. It provides a unified interface for working with formats including gzip, bzip2, zip, tar, rar, 7zip, and zstandard, and can automatically detect archive formats by inspecting binary byte headers rather than relying solely on file extensions. The library uses interface-based abstractions and a multi-format codec registry to support format-agnostic operations, while its stream-based compression pipeline processes archive data continuously without loading entire archives i
