Huffman Coding Animation

This is a web application that demonstrates the Huffman coding algorithm. It was created as a final project for the course "Algorithms Analysis" at the Superior School of Computer Science of the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico.

The Team

This project was brought to life by:

• Mario Daniel Pérez Priego @Mdperez19
• Alberto Palacios Cabrera @AlbertoPC13
• Lissete López Hernández @Aliss55
• Carlos Jesus Morales Hernandez @Capu720

Visualization

The application is hosted via GitHub Pages and can be accessed here.

Huffman tree construction and codes generation

The application allows the user to input a string and visualize the Huffman coding algorithm step by step. The user can also visualize the Huffman tree and the creation of the codes for each character.

Note

You can write any character or symbol in the input field. Give it a try!

Tip

If you want to see a deeper explanation of the algorithm, you can click on the Question mark "?" button.

Message encoding

The application also allows the user to encode a message using the Huffman codes generated from the input string.

In this section you can see the encoded message and the binary representation of the message. Also you can see the compression percentage of the message.

Message decoding

And finally, the application allows the user to decode a message using the Huffman tree generated from the input string.
