This library provides compressions and decompression
of Snappy bytestrings in R.
- Snappy C/C++ code is embedded in the library, so external
dependencies are not required.
- Use or RAWSXP underneath prevents runtime errors
- Direct access to R's internal data structures is given to the
Snappy library, so it's about as efficient as it can be.
- Round trip tests with hedgehog provide good assurances
for correctness.
Basic Usage
# Compress a character vector
comp <- compress("this text will be compressed")
decompress(comp)
## [1] "this text will be compressed"
