[vach] is an archiving file format developed from the ground up for games and

other realtime applications by [@zeskeertwee] and [@sokorototo]. It is

written in pure Rust.

Its primary objectives (in no particular order) are:

- Have a simple, yet complete API.

- Fine control over each individual entry in an archive, i.e. neighbouring

entries can have vastly different compression schemes.

- Support compression (with multiple compression schemes), encryption,

and signatures for data authentication

- Efficient fetching of data by avoiding unnecessary traversal of the file.

Once a file is parsed, locations of every entry are known to the loader.

- Be as compact as possible - the smallest valid archive is only 13 bytes.

- Each entry has some metadata attached to it - this is implemented using

bitflags and up to 8 bits are free to the user.

- Has mutlithreaded implementations of both the loader and the writer.

A [CLI][vach-cli] is allowing one to use vach as a general purpose archive

format. The CLI is fully multithreaded, allowing for insane un/packing speeds.

Feel free to drop into the [repo][vach] and open an issue, pull request or

drop a star 🌟. It helps maintain momentum in the project.
