-Snappy is a compression/decompression library. It does not aim for maximum

Snappy has the following properties:
-* Fast: Compression speeds at 250 MB/sec and beyond, with no assembler code.
-See "Performance" below.
-* Stable: Over the last few years, Snappy has compressed and decompressed
-petabytes of data in Google's production environment. The Snappy bitstream
-format is stable and will not change between versions.
-* Robust: The Snappy decompressor is designed not to crash in the face of
-corrupted or malicious input.
-* Free and open source software: Snappy is licensed under a BSD-type license.
-For more information, see the included COPYING file.

Snappy has previously been called "Zippy" in some Google presentations
and the like.
