Snappy

Snappy is a real-time data compression library developed by Google. It efficiently reduces the size of data so it can be stored or transmitted more quickly while ensuring fast compression and decompression speeds. Designed for performance-critical applications, Snappy achieves a balance between compression ratio and processing speed, making it suitable for large-scale systems, databases, and network communication where minimizing delays is important. It is open-source and widely used in various software projects to optimize data handling without sacrificing speed.
