Bandit is a military-grade data compression library designed for high-stakes environments where efficiency, reliability, and speed are mission-critical. Built with modern C++17 and the LZ4 compression algorithm to deliver exceptional performance in bandwidth-constrained scenarios.
Just like messhy, This would have been combined and developed further into a more comprehensive project as my submission to the European Defense Hackathon.

brew install lz4
brew install cmakemkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
makecheck out examples/compression_demo.cpp for a simple usage example.
Based on recent benchmarks:
- Compression Ratio: Average 5.48x (varies by data type)
- Throughput:
- Compression: 55.68 MB/s
- Decompression: 9.74 MB/s
- Latency: 6-7ms for 374KB blocks
