Description

LZAV is a fast general-purpose in-memory data compression algorithm based on now-classic LZ77 lossless data compression method. LZAV holds a good position on the Pareto landscape of factors, among many similar in-memory (non-streaming) compression algorithms.

LZAV algorithm's code is portable, scalar, header-only, inlineable C (C++ compatible). It supports little- and big-endian platforms, and any memory alignment models. The algorithm is efficient on both 32- and 64-bit platforms. Incompressible data expands by no more than 0.58%.

LZAV does not sacrifice internal out-of-bounds (OOB) checks for decompression speed. This means that LZAV can be used in strict conditions where OOB memory writes (and especially reads) that lead to a trap, are unacceptable (e.g., real-time, system, server software). LZAV can be safely used to decompress malformed or damaged compressed data.
