Introduction

This Rust library provides a simple and efficient implementation of the LZW data compression algorithm. LZW is a widely used compression algorithm that can be used to reduce the size of data for storage or transmission.

Features

• Compression of data into LZW-encoded format.
• Decompression of LZW-encoded data to its original format.
• Easy-to-use Rust API.

Usage

Installation

To use this library in your Rust project, add it as a dependency in your Cargo.toml file:

toml [dependencies] lzw-compression = "0.1.0"

Or call cargo add lzw-compression

Compression

To compress data using the LZW algorithm, you can use the compress function provided by the library. Here's an example of how to use it:

```rust use lzw_compression::compress;

let data = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 5]; let compresseddata = compress(&data); println!("Compressed data: {:?}", compresseddata);

use lzw_compression::decompress;

let compresseddata = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 5]; let decompresseddata = decompress(&compresseddata); println!("Decompressed data: {:?}", decompresseddata); ```
