Rust Compresion
NOTE: This is not a production-quality library, it is a proof of concept. This library mainly contains decoders, not encoders.
This repository aims to house various implementations of compression algorithms, all written in rust. This is still very much a work in progress.
git clone https://github.com/alexcrichton/rust-compress
cd rust-compress
cargo build
Implemented Algorithms
The following algorithms are alredy implemented in the main branch:
- DEFLATE: standard decoder based on RFC 1951
- LZ4 (Ziv-Lempel modification): dummy encoder, semi-complete decoder
- BWT (Burrows-Wheeler Transform): straightforward encoder, standard decoder
- DC (Distance Coding): basic encoder, standard decoder
- Ari (Arithmetic coding): standard range encoder/decoder
- RLE (Run-Length Encoding): basic encoder/decoder
Desired Algorithms
The following algorithms are either planned or in development at this point:
- WFC (Weight-Frequency Coding)
- SA/BWT in linear time
