Huffman-rs

This is a code base to help compress text using huffman coding.

What is huffman coding?

Huffman coding is the smallest, single character compression algorithim. This implementation is based on the video on the subject by Tom Scott.

Tl;Dr: huffman-coding is a way of assigning the most effective set of bits to a character to get the smallest posible file sizes without multi-character compression.
