EET is a tiny library designed to write an arbitrary set of chunks of
|
||
|
|
data to a file and optionally compress each chunk (very much like a
|
||
|
|
zip file) and allow fast random-access reading of the file later on.
|
||
|
|
It does not do zip as a zip itself has more complexity than is needed,
|
||
|
|
and it was much simpler to implement this once here.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EET is extremely fast, small and simple. EET files can be very small
|
||
|
|
and highly compressed, making them very optimal for just sending
|
||
|
|
across the Internet without having to archive, compress or decompress
|
||
|
|
and install them. They allow for lightning-fast random-access reads
|
||
|
|
once created, making them perfect for storing data that is written
|
||
|
|
once (or rarely) and read many times, but the program does not want to
|
||
|
|
have to read it all in at once.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It also can encode and decode data structures in memory, as well as
|
||
|
|
image data for saving to EET files or sending across the network to
|
||
|
|
other machines, or just writing to arbitrary files on the system. All
|
||
|
|
data is encoded in a platform independent way and can be written and
|
||
|
|
read by any architecture.
