Overview
A Dart implementation of the XXH3 hashing algorithm, originally developed by Yann Collet. This package provides high-speed, secure hashing suitable for applications requiring fast and reliable data integrity checks. It is a direct port of the original xxHash library, optimized for performance across multiple platforms. Ideal for use in caching, checksums, and data deduplication scenarios where speed and low collision rates are critical.
Use cases
- Data integrity verification
- Caching systems
- File and stream hashing
- Cryptographic checksums
- Fast data deduplication
Key features
- High-performance hashing
- Cross-platform compatibility
- Low collision rate
- Simple API
- Optimized for speed
Suitable for
- Performance-critical applications
- Large-scale data processing
- Real-time systems
- Security-sensitive environments
- Applications needing fast hash generation
Considerations
- Not suitable for cryptographic security (e.g., password hashing)
- Does not provide encryption
- Best used for integrity, not confidentiality
- Requires careful handling in sensitive contexts
- Not recommended for cryptographic key derivation
