Module httlib_huffman::parser

Provides features for parsing Huffman code table provided by the HPACK documentation.

HPACK provides a pre-created Huffman code table for encoding ASCII characters to the Huffman sequence. This Huffman code was generated from statistics obtained on a large sample of HTTP headers.

The parser module is responsible for parsing the Huffman code table into the static Rust source code. This module was used to create the ENCODE_TABLE constant which can be found in the encode::table module.

You will probably never use this module while developing applications.
