Awesome

A simple and fast implementation of the QOI image format decoder and encoder.

Examples

const qoiz = @import("qoiz");

test "image init reader" {
    const file = try fs.cwd().openFile("src/bench/data/dice.qoi", .{});
    defer file.close();

    const image = try qoiz.Image(.rgb).initReader(testing.allocator, file.reader());
    defer image.deinit();
}
