Reed-Solomon
Advanced error-correcting encoding scheme that operates on blocks of data. Recover original data from corrupted sequences.
CompressionLZ77
The foundation of sliding-window compression. Watch how pointers and lengths replace repeated occurrences in real-time.
CompressionLZ78
A dictionary-based approach to compression. Build an explicit dictionary of phrases dynamically from your input.
Run-Length EncodingRLE
Simple and fast lossless compression that collapses repeating character sequences into count-value pairs.
Entropy EncodingHuffman Coding
Optimal prefix-free variable-length coding. Build binary frequency trees and assign shorter bitcodes to frequent symbols.
Entropy EncodingArithmetic Coding
Encode an entire file into a single fractional number between 0 and 1. Highly efficient data compression.
