tensogram-szip

Pure-Rust implementation of the CCSDS 121.0-B-3 Adaptive Entropy Coding (AEC / SZIP) codec.

This crate provides aec_compress, aec_decompress, and aec_decompress_range functions with the same AecParams interface as the C libaec library. It is useful as a drop-in replacement for libaec-sys in environments where C FFI is unavailable — notably WebAssembly.

Usage

use tensogram_szip::{aec_compress, aec_decompress, AecParams, AEC_DATA_PREPROCESS};

let data: Vec<u8> = (0..1024).map(|i| (i % 256) as u8).collect();
let params = AecParams {
    bits_per_sample: 8,
    block_size: 16,
    rsi: 128,
    flags: AEC_DATA_PREPROCESS,
};

let (compressed, rsi_block_offsets) = aec_compress(&data, &params)?;
let decompressed = aec_decompress(&compressed, data.len(), &params)?;
assert_eq!(decompressed, data);
# Ok::<(), tensogram_szip::AecError>(())

rsi_block_offsets enables aec_decompress_range — partial decode without decompressing the full stream.

Installation

cargo add tensogram-szip
