libzling is coming soon!

[RichSelian]

now I want the fast compression program zling to become a full-featured compression library. I've made a pre-alpha version and demo program. try it and post your suggestion, please!

Nice. Have you tried intergrating FSE?

BTW: I noticed the baidu namespace. Isn't 'baidu' a trademarked name? It seems somewhat unusual to me to include such kind of namespace.

I haven't read any FSE articles. currently I use semi-static Polar coding. how does FSE perform comparing to static Huffman coding? (I work in baidu.com, which is the biggest website of China, and our coding standards need an 'namespace baidu')

Well, there are many threads about FSE on this forum In short, FSE compresses as good as range coding and as fast as Huffman coding after the coding tables have been computed. However, computing of the coding tables takes some time, so the feasibility of using FSE depends on the frequency at which you recompute coding tables. If you use Polar coding then it suggests that you're recomputing the codes pretty often - otherwise you would use Huffman coding - and probably FSE won't fit well.

looks good to me, I use 256KB semi-static coding, (I use Polar instead Huffman just for easier developing)
