Pull Request Summary: Using the Context Feature in zstd-ruby
The
zstd-ruby
gem provides aZstd::Context
class for efficient, reusable compression and decompression, offering 2-3x faster performance and memory savings compared to module methods. Here's how to use it:Initialize a Context:
Compress and Decompress:
Specialized Contexts (for memory optimization):
cctx = Zstd::CContext.new(level: 6); cctx.compress(data)
dctx = Zstd::DContext.new; dctx.decompress(compressed)
Benefits:
CContext
/DContext
saving ~50% memory.Use Case: Ideal for multiple compression/decompression tasks or dictionary-based workflows.
