crush-core

High-performance parallel compression library core.

Overview

crush-core is the core library for the Crush compression toolkit. It provides high-performance, parallel compression algorithms designed to match or exceed the performance of tools like pigz.

Features (Placeholder)

This is the initial workspace structure setup. Actual compression features will be implemented in subsequent development phases:

• DEFLATE compression (planned)
• Multi-threaded parallel processing (planned)
• Plugin architecture for multiple compression algorithms (planned)
• Memory-efficient streaming I/O (planned)

Usage

use crush_core::hello;

fn main() {
    let message = hello();
    println!("{}", message);
}

Architecture

The library follows a modular design with clean separation of concerns:

• Core engine: Compression/decompression algorithms
• Stream handling: Efficient I/O for large files
• Plugin system: Extensible architecture for new formats
