Snappy is a compression format and program library to implement it, introduced by Google. It is optimized for speed rather than compression size or compatibility with any other compression systems.
Apple used a variant of Snappy (not quite compatible with its specs) in the IWA serialization format used as part of the iWork format used in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
