Basic Compression Library

The Basic Compression Library is a set of open source implementations of several well known lossless compression algorithms, including RLE, Huffman, LZ77 and Rice, written in portable ANSI C. The library has been created to be flexible and easy to understand. It is well documented, and easy to use and adapt to specific situations, such as custom compression methods and embedded systems.

Satisfied user Todd W said: I needed a simple set of compression routines for use in an embedded system. I must be able to store a fair amount of information in a small EEPROM as a generic database. The Huffman coder works very well in the application and has met my needs exactly! Very nice!
