A compression algorithm that is very efficient with xml files or text files that have repeating tags in general
Compression ratio can reach more than 70% depending on repeating data and original file size.
XIPCompressor.compress_binary(filepath: str)return the compressed file in bytes which can be dumped in a file or used directly
XIPCompressor.decompress_binary(compressed_bytes: bytes)Takes the bytes of the read compressed file and decompressed it back to its normal state
- first byte tells the number of entries in the lookup taple appended in the end of the bytestream
- the data after compression in raw bytes
- the lookup table which adds unnoticeable overhead
Any contributions to make the algorithm more efficient are totally appreciated.
