## Package org.apache.commons.compress.compressors.snappy Description

Provides stream classes for decompressing streams using the Snappy algorithm.

The raw Snappy format which only contains the compressed data is supported by the `SnappyCompressorInputStream` class while the so called "framing format" is implemented by `FramedSnappyCompressorInputStream`. Note there have been different versions of the fraing format specification, the implementation in Commons Compress is based on the specification "Last revised: 2013-10-25".

Only the "framing format" can be auto-detected this means you have to speficy the format explicitly if you want to read a "raw" Snappy stream via `CompressorStreamFactory`.
