## Features
For a more full specification of the format, please see [Format.md](Format.md)
- No padding between metadata fields or data segments so it only stores the data
required to recreate the original file
- Optional inline checksumming using a choice of md5, sha1 or sha256 algorithms
to ensure data integrity
- Easily parallelized library code
- Uses generic `Read` and `Write` interfaces from Rust `std` to support reading
archive nodes from anything that can supply a stream of data
## Building
The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) for this project is currently Rust 1.65.
The crate can be added to your project by adding it to your `Cargo.toml` file.
Until the api is more mature you will have to use the crate from it's git repository
rather than from the crates.io package registry.
