Library for compression and decompression using the Sixpack algorithm originally written by Philip G. Gage.
I created this library, because I was in the process of reverse engineering a file format compressed using Sixpack. However, I barely found enough resources describing or implementing the algorithm, which is why I took some time to create this library. It's aim is not to be the most performant implementation (although it's still quite fast), but a more readable one.
The decompression algorithm is fully implemented and working.
The compression algorithm however is not completed yet. It does generate decompressable data, but no compression is happening yet.
The library is located in the central maven repository.
