/**
 * Snappy API for compressing/decompressing data.
 * 
 * Usage
 * First, import {@link org.xerial.snappy.Snappy} in your Java code:
 * 
 *  * import org.xerial.snappy.Snappy;
 * 
 * 
 * Then use {@link org.xerial.snappy.Snappy#compress(byte[])} and {@link org.xerial.snappy.Snappy#uncompress(byte[])}:
 * 
 *  * String input = "Hello snappy-java! Snappy-java is a JNI-based wrapper of Snappy, a fast compresser/decompresser.";
 * byte[] compressed = Snappy.compress(input.getBytes("UTF-8"));
 * byte[] uncompressed = Snappy.uncompress(compressed);
 * String result = new String(uncompressed, "UTF-8");
 * System.out.println(result);
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * In addition, high-level methods (Snappy.compress(String), Snappy.compress(float[] ..) etc. ) and low-level ones (e.g. Snappy.rawCompress(.. ), Snappy.rawUncompress(..), etc.), which minimize memory copies, can be used. 
 * 
 * Stream-based API
 * Stream-based compressor/decompressor SnappyOutputStream, SnappyInputStream are also available for reading/writing large data sets.
