Both the source code and the compressed data +format are designed to be portable across platforms. + +UCL implements a number of algorithms with the following features: + + * Decompression is simple and *very* fast. + * Requires no memory for decompression. + * The decompressors can be squeezed into less than 200 bytes of code. + * Focuses on compression levels for generating pre-compressed data + which achieve a quite competitive compression ratio. + * Allows you to dial up extra compression at a speed cost in the + compressor. The speed of the decompressor is not reduced. + * Algorithm is thread safe. + * Algorithm is lossless. + +UCL supports in-place decompression. -- cgit v1.2.3
