This project provides a simple Java-based implementation of a file compressor and decompressor. It allows you to compress files using the GZIP compression algorithm and decompress GZIP-compressed files.
- Compresses files using GZIP compression.
- Decompresses GZIP-compressed files.
- Provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy file selection and compression/decompression.
- The Application-User Interface.
- Selecting a file to compress.
- File compression.
- Compressed file gets saved in same folder.
- Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or higher.
- IntelliJ IDEA (or any Java IDE of your choice) for running the project.
- Clone or download the project to your local machine.
- Open the project in IntelliJ IDEA (or your preferred Java IDE).
- Build the project to ensure all dependencies are resolved.
- Run the project by executing the
GUI.Mainclass. - The application's GUI will open, displaying two buttons: "Select file to compress" and "Select file to decompress".
- To compress a file, click the "Select file to compress" button and choose a file from the file chooser dialog. The compressed file will be saved with the ".gz" extension in the same location as the original file.
- To decompress a file, click the "Select file to decompress" button and choose a GZIP-compressed file (.gz) from the file chooser dialog. The decompressed file will be saved in the same location as the original file.

- The GZIP compression and decompression functionality in this project is based on the Java standard library classes
GZIPOutputStreamandGZIPInputStream. - The project structure and GUI implementation were inspired by various Java programming resources and tutorials.
