|
|
|
Compliant decoders must adhere to this document,
|
|
|
|
|
and compliant encoders must generate data that follows it.

__`educational_decoder`__ : This directory contains an implementation of a Zstandard decoder,
|
|
|
|
|
compliant with the Zstandard compression format.
|
|
|
|
|
It can be used, for example, to better understand the format,
|

|
|
|
or as the basis for a separate implementation of Zstandard decoder.

[__`decode_corpus`__](https://github.com/facebook/zstd/tree/dev/tests#decodecorpus---tool-to-generate-zstandard-frames-for-decoder-testing) :
|
|
|
|
|
This tool, stored in `/tests` directory, is able to generate random valid frames,
|
|
|
|
|
which is useful if you wish to test your decoder and verify it fully supports the specification.
