Snappier
========
[](https://cran.r-project.org/package=snappier)
> R package bindings for the Snappy library.
This library provides compressions and decompression
of Snappy bytestrings in R.
### Benefits
* Snappy C/C++ code is embedded in the library, so external
dependencies are not required.
* Use or RAWSXP underneath prevents runtime errors
* Direct access to R's internal data structures is given to the
Snappy library, so it's about as efficient as it can be.
* Round trip tests with hedgehog provide good assurances
for correctness.
### Basic Usage
```r
# Compress a character vector
comp <- compress("this text will be compressed")
decompress(comp)
```
```
## [1] "this text will be compressed"
```
