LZ4 compression codec.

LZ4 is an extremely fast compression algorithm focused on speed. It provides compression at over 1 GB/s per core and decompression at multi-GB/s speeds.

LZ4 does not accept configuration options. It uses a fixed compression strategy optimized for speed.

Performance Characteristics

• Extremely fast compression and decompression
• Lower compression ratio compared to Zstd or Bzip2
• Ideal for real-time and latency-sensitive applications

Examples

iex> {:ok, compressed} = ExCodecs.encode(:lz4, "hello world")
iex> {:ok, decompressed} = ExCodecs.decode(:lz4, compressed)
iex> decompressed
"hello world"
