paku is a collection of decompressors in pure safe Rust
Goals
- Pure Rust. No unsafe code.
- Support all reasonably modern popular formats for decompression.
- No dependency on external decompression code.
- Be reasonably fast. Currently unknown.
Distant future goals
- Support some specific compression format or two. Tbd which one. Most likely zstd.
- Provide no_std support.
- ARM and x86 asm.
Supported formats
| format | status | notes |
|---|---|---|
| lzf | fully implemented | |
| lz4 in LZ4Block | lz4_jblock implements format compatible with https://github.com/lz4/lz4-java/blob/master/src/java/net/jpountz/lz4/LZ4BlockInputStream.java | this format does not seem to be supported by any other libraries, however there are unfortunately compressed files using it around |
