Compressed data format¶

Some custom formats used in this engine can be wrapped in a compressed container.

Specification¶

Endianness¶

By default, little-endian.

Compressed container¶

CompressedData
- uint8_t format
- data

Compressed data starts with one byte. Depending on its value, what follows is different.

• 0: no compression. Following bytes can be read directly. This is rarely used and could be for debugging.
• 1: LZ4_BE compression, deprecated. The next big-endian 32-bit unsigned integer is the size of the decompressed data, and following bytes are compressed data using LZ4 default parameters.
• 2: LZ4 compression, The next little-endian 32-bit unsigned integer is the size of the decompressed data, and following bytes are compressed data using LZ4 default parameters. This is the default mode.
