A tiny library for tiny binary compression.
- Free software: BSD 2-Clause License
TinyCompress is a lightweight Python library that provides efficient data compression algorithms with a focus on simplicity and ease of use.
The library implements multiple compression methods:
- LZSSW (Lempel-Ziv-Storer-Szymanski via Words): An efficient variant of LZ77 compression algorithm that uses a sliding window approach for finding repeated data patterns.
- RLEB (Run-Length Encoding for Bytes): A specialized compression algorithm that combines run-length encoding with bit flags, particularly effective for data with repeated byte sequences.
Key features:
- Pure Python implementation for maximum portability
- Streaming interface for processing large files with minimal memory usage
- File handling utilities for direct compression/decompression of files
- Extensible base classes for implementing custom compression algorithms
- Comprehensive test suite with high code coverage
- BSD 2-Clause licensed for both commercial and open-source use
