### [vach]
129+
130+
[vach] is an archiving file format developed from the ground up for games and
131+
other realtime applications by [@zeskeertwee] and [@sokorototo]. It is
132+
written in pure Rust.
133+
134+
Its primary objectives (in no particular order) are:
135+
136+
- Have a simple, yet complete API.
137+
- Fine control over each individual entry in an archive, i.e. neighbouring
138+
entries can have vastly different compression schemes.
139+
- Support compression (with multiple compression schemes), encryption,
140+
and signatures for data authentication
141+
- Efficient fetching of data by avoiding unnecessary traversal of the file.
142+
Once a file is parsed, locations of every entry are known to the loader.
143+
- Be as compact as possible - the smallest valid archive is only 13 bytes.
144+
- Each entry has some metadata attached to it - this is implemented using
145+
bitflags and up to 8 bits are free to the user.
146+
- Has mutlithreaded implementations of both the loader and the writer.
147+
148+
A [CLI][vach-cli] is allowing one to use vach as a general purpose archive
149+
format. The CLI is fully multithreaded, allowing for insane un/packing speeds.
150+

Feel free to drop into the [repo][vach] and open an issue, pull request or
152+
drop a star 🌟. It helps maintain momentum in the project.
