## Managed Fork
This is a **maintained fork** of [KillingSpark/zstd-rs](https://github.com/KillingSpark/zstd-rs) (ruzstd) by [Structured World Foundation](https://sw.foundation). We maintain additional features and hardening for the [CoordiNode](https://github.com/structured-world/coordinode) database engine while contributing patches upstream.
**Fork goals:**
- Dictionary compression improvements (critical for per-label trained dictionaries in LSM-tree)
- Performance parity with C zstd for decompression (currently 1.4-3.5x slower)
- No FFI — pure `cargo build`, no cmake/system libraries (ADR-013 compliance)
**Upstream sync:** We regularly rebase on upstream and contribute improvements back.
## What is this
A pure Rust implementation of the Zstandard compression format, as defined in [RFC 8878](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8878.pdf).
This crate contains a fully operational decompressor and a compressor that is usable but does not yet match the speed, ratio, or configurability of the original C library.
## Current Status
### Decompression
Complete RFC 8878 implementation. Performance: ~1.4-3.5x slower than C zstd depending on data compressibility.
### Compression
- [x] Uncompressed blocks
- [x] Fastest (roughly level 1)
- [ ] Default (roughly level 3)
- [ ] Better (roughly level 7)
- [ ] Best (roughly level 11)
- [x] Checksums
- [ ] Dictionary compression
### Dictionary Generation
When the `dict_builder` feature is enabled, the `dictionary` module can create raw content dictionaries. Within 0.2% of the official implementation on the `github-users` sample set.
## Usage
### Compression
```rust
use ruzstd::encoding::{compress, compress_to_vec, CompressionLevel};
let data: &[u8] = b"hello world";
let compressed = compress_to_vec(data, CompressionLevel::Fastest);
```
### Decompression
```rust
use ruzstd::decoding::StreamingDecoder;
use ruzstd::io::Read;
let mut source: &[u8] = &compressed_data;
let mut decoder = StreamingDecoder::new(&mut source).unwrap();
let mut result = Vec::new();
decoder.read_to_end(&mut result).unwrap();
```
