Description

Compresses and decompresses files with a focus on speed. LZ4 is useful when fast processing matters more than achieving the smallest possible compressed file size.

Use it for backups, logs, temporary data, build artifacts, or data pipelines that need quick compression. It is mainly a command-line utility and library used by other software.
