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. |
