Methods and systems for encoding and decoding data using a streaming product-code (SPC). An SPC codeword has a first and second portion in a first and second component stream of the SPC, respectively. The first portion of the first codeword is arranged along a first dimension of the SPC, and the second portion of the first codeword is arranged along a second dimension of the SPC. The SPC efficiently encodes data into a desired target frame format without the overhead of dedicated mapping logic used by product-codes solutions.
