LzfseSharp

A C# port of Apple's LZFSE (Lempel-Ziv Finite State Entropy) compression algorithm. This library provides decoding-only functionality for decompressing LZFSE-compressed data.

What is LZFSE?

LZFSE is a Lempel-Ziv style data compression algorithm using Finite State Entropy coding, introduced by Apple with OS X 10.11 and iOS 9. It targets similar compression ratios to DEFLATE but with significantly higher compression and decompression speeds.

Features

  • Supports all LZFSE block types:
    • LZFSE compressed blocks (V1 and V2 with FSE encoding)
    • LZVN compressed blocks (simpler algorithm for small data)
    • Uncompressed blocks

Installation

dotnet add package LzfseSharp

Usage

The decoder is fully stream based: it reads compressed input from a source Stream and writes decompressed output to a destination Stream.

using LzfseSharp;

using FileStream source = File.OpenRead("data.lzfse");
using FileStream destination = File.Create("data.bin");
LzfseDecoder.Decompress(source, destination);

An asynchronous overload is also available:

await LzfseDecoder.DecompressAsync(source, destination, cancellationToken);

Limitations

  • Decode-only: This library only supports decompression. For compression, use the original C library or platform-specific APIs on Apple platforms.
