Dekoodaaja

What is Dekoodaaja?

Dekoodaaja is an open source library that provides fast decoders for image formats, currently supporting only the QOI format. It is written in Zig and designed for performance-critical applications where quick image decompression matters. The project includes built-in benchmarking tools to measure throughput and latency against other available decoders.

The repository contains configuration files for building with Zig and running tests via Nix. Developers can compile the code in either ReleaseFast or ReleaseSmall modes to balance speed and binary size. Benchmark results show Dekoodaaja achieving high input and output throughput with low execution times on standard hardware.

This tool is intended for software engineers and systems programmers who need reliable, high-speed image decoding without external dependencies. It follows the MIT license, allowing free use in both personal and commercial projects. The codebase is hosted publicly on GitHub with full commit history and issue tracking.
