The frame format bindings are the recommended ones to +use, as this guarantees interoperability with other implementations and +language bindings. + +The API provided by the frame format bindings follows that of the LZMA, zlib, +gzip and bzip2 compression libraries which are provided with the Python +standard library. As such, these LZ4 bindings should provide a drop-in +alternative to the compression libraries shipped with Python. The package +provides context managers and file handler support. |
