Contributions summary:Adam primarily focused on adding Java wrappers and C implementations for compressing and decompressing data using direct `ByteBuffer` objects, optimizing the library for improved performance with native memory management. They added unit tests to verify the functionality of the `ByteBuffer`-based methods. Further, the user fixed a bug in the benchmark test to accurately report the compression ratio. Additional tests were implemented to enhance test coverage for the functionality.
