lz4/lz4
Extremely Fast Compression algorithm
LZ4 is an open-source C library and CLI tool for lossless compression that prioritizes speed: over 500 MB/s compression per core and multi-GB/s decompression. It offers tunable speed/ratio tradeoffs, a high-compression mode (LZ4_HC), and dictionary compression for small files, and is widely used as a building block in databases, filesystems, and data formats.
Why now: A new v1.11.0 release with updated benchmarks showing it outperforming Snappy, LZO, and zlib on speed is drawing attention.
Who it is for: Developers needing fast compression in systems software, databases, or data pipelines.
