From the developer:
snappy-java is a Java port of the snappy, a fast C++ compresser/decompresser developed by Google.
Main features:
- Fast compression/decompression around 200~400MB/sec.
- Less memory usage. SnappyOutputStream uses only 32KB+ in default.
- JNI-based implementation to achieve comparable performance to the native C++ version. Although snappy-java uses JNI, it can be used safely with multiple class loaders (e.g. Tomcat, etc.).
You may want to check out more Mac applications, such as Objective Basic, Pleinpot or PLCEdit, which might be similar to snappy-java.
