Inspired by [lemire/FastPFor](https://github.com/lemire/FastPFor). -Package bp32 is an implementation of the binary packing integer compression algorithm in in Go (also known as PackedBinary) using unsigned 32 integer blocks. +Package bp32 is an implementation of the binary packing integer compression algorithm in Go using unsigned 32 integer blocks. It is mostly suitable for sorted arrays containing small positive 32bit-integers like IPv4 addresses or timestamp. Given a list of sorted integers, it computes the successive differences prior for compression purposes. For details, check [Daniel Lemire and Leonid Boytsov, Decoding billions of integers per second](http://arxiv.org/abs/1209.2137).
