equals

public abstract boolean equals(Object other)

Codecs must implement an equals() method. Two codecs, A and B are equal if: the result of A and B decompressing content compressed by A is the same AND the retult of A and B decompressing content compressed by B is the same

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public abstract int hashCode()

Codecs must implement a hashCode() method that is consistent with equals().
