Introduction

This Rust library provides a simple and efficient implementation of the LZW data compression algorithm. LZW is a widely used compression algorithm that can be used to reduce the size of data for storage or transmission.

Features

• Compression of data into LZW-encoded format.
• Decompression of LZW-encoded data to its original format.
• Easy-to-use Rust API.

Usage

Installation

To use this library in your Rust project, add it as a dependency in your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
lzw-compression = "0.1.0"

Or call cargo add lzw-compression

Compression

To compress data using the LZW algorithm, you can use the compress function provided by the library. Here's an example of how to use it:

use lzw_compression::compress;

let data = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 5];
let compressed_data = compress(&data);
println!("Compressed data: {:?}", compressed_data);

use lzw_compression::decompress;

let compressed_data = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 5];
let decompressed_data = decompress(&compressed_data);
println!("Decompressed data: {:?}", decompressed_data);
