Building a data compression utility in Haskell using Huffman codes

Read Original

This technical article provides a step-by-step guide to building a file compression tool using Huffman codes in Haskell. It explains the theory behind prefix-free codes, demonstrates how to create an efficient coder in about 150 lines of code, and leverages laziness to maintain a constant memory footprint during encoding and decoding of arbitrary binary files.
