| EET is a tiny library designed to write an arbitary set of chunks of data to a file |
| and optionally compress each chunk (very much like a zip file) and allow fast |
| random-access reading of the file later on. It does not do zip as a zip itself has |
| more complexity than is needed, and it was much simpler to impliment this once here. |
| |
| Eet is extremely fast, small and simple. Eet files can be very small and highly |
| compressed, making them very optimal for just sending across the internet without |
| having to archive, compress or decompress and install them. They allow for |
| lightning-fast random-acess reads once created, making them perfect for storing data |
| that is written once (or rarely) and read many times, but the program does not want |
| to have to read it all in at once. |
| |
| It also can encode and decode data structures in memory, as well as image data for |
| saving to Eet files or sending across the network to other machines, or just writing |
| to arbitary files on the system. All data is encoded in a platform independant way |
| and can be written and read by any architecture. |
