π The .SNAPPY technological approach is established on the basis of a compressed file designed and opened up by Snappy, a file decompression and packaging toolkit. Accurately, the noted extension interpretation holds one or several file compositions that are stored together in an archive. .SNAPPY elements are distinguished by a lower compression ratio than other compression tools, taking into consideration that the files encoded by Snappy are larger in size in comparison with those designed and generated by other utilities and products. Nevertheless, the overall mission of the suite is to remain a fast compressor, not to achieve maximum encoding ratio. Hereby, besides the packaged and bundled .SNAPPY resources may appear larger, they are encoded and opened much more quickly. Nowadays, in accordance with project license and distribution terms, the specification is shared as a source code library written in C++ programming language.
π All of the noted data resources are effortlessly opened up, researched, and explored by the analogously entitled tool, compatible with all common desktop operating systems and architectures.
