 LZ4 (compression algorithm)

LZ4 is a fast compression algorithm that is designed for high-speed compression and decompression while providing a reasonable compression ratio. It is part of the Lempel-Ziv family of compression algorithms and is particularly noted for its impressive performance in terms of speed, making it suitable for real-time applications. ### Key Features of LZ4: 1. **Speed**: LZ4 is designed to be extremely fast, providing compression and decompression speeds that are significantly higher compared to many other compression algorithms.
