Small library for pure huffman coding in Rust.
This library exposes a reader for decoding encoded data and a writer for encoding data.
First add this library as dependency to your cargo manifest
TOML
huffman_coding = "0.1.0"
Then, import the library at the start of your main/library
Rust
extern crate huffman_coding;
Finally you can use the exported structs as you please ```Rust use std::io::Write; let pseudodata = vec![0, 0, 1, 2, 2]; let tree = HuffmanTree::new(&pseudodata[..]);
let mut vec = Vec::new(); { let mut writer = HuffmanWriter::new(&mut vec, &tree); assert!(writer.write(&[0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2]).is_ok()) } ```
There are two small example binaries, one for encoding a file, the other for decoding a file.
As these require command line parsing, they are gated behind the feature flag bin. To build them, use
cargo build --features "bin"
