## Class Adler32

- java.lang.Object
- - java.util.zip.Adler32

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Checksum

      public class Adler32
      extends Object
      implements Checksum

  A class that can be used to compute the Adler-32 checksum of a data stream. An Adler-32 checksum is almost as reliable as a CRC-32 but can be computed much faster.
