Simple Compression/Decompression Tool
VS-Project ideasSoftware DevelopmentProject Objectives:
data compression algorithms and file handling techniques
Project Tasks:
The Simple Compression/Decompression Tool will allow users to reduce file sizes by applying lossless compression techniques. This is beneficial for file storage optimization, faster data transmission, and archiving. The project will focus on implementing standard algorithms such as
Huffman Coding (Variable-length encoding) Run-Length Encoding (RLE) (Simple repeated sequence compression) Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) (Used in GIF and ZIP files)
Programming Languages
Python (zlib, bz2, lzma libraries) Java (java.util.zip package) C++ (Boost or zlib library)
C# (.NET Compression APIs)
Frameworks & Tools
PyQt or Tkinter (if creating a GUI in Python) Electron.js (if making a cross-platform desktop app) Flask/Django (if developing a web-based compression tool) GitHub for version control Before Commencing the project the following links have to be examined.
