Sixcy: High-Performance Streaming Container
Sixcy is a modern, efficient, and robust container format designed for high-performance data storage and transmission. It is built with a focus on streaming efficiency, data recoverability, and flexible compression strategies.
Key Features
Streaming-First Design : Optimized for single-pass read and write operations, making it ideal for network streams and large-scale data processing.
: Optimized for single-pass read and write operations, making it ideal for network streams and large-scale data processing. Data Recoverability : Includes self-describing blocks and periodic checkpoints to ensure data can be recovered even if the archive is truncated or partially corrupted.
: Includes self-describing blocks and periodic checkpoints to ensure data can be recovered even if the archive is truncated or partially corrupted. Codec Polymorphism : Supports multiple compression algorithms (Zstd, LZ4, etc.) within a single archive, allowing for block-level optimization based on data type.
: Supports multiple compression algorithms (Zstd, LZ4, etc.) within a single archive, allowing for block-level optimization based on data type. Plugin Architecture : Supports third-party and proprietary compression algorithms through a well-defined plugin interface, enabling closed-source extensions to integrate seamlessly.
