About The Project

This web application allows users to compress and decompress text files using the Huffman coding algorithm. The backend of the application is built using C++ and Express.js, while the frontend is developed using Next.js. This README provides instructions for setting up and using the application.

Huffman coding is a lossless data compression algorithm that assigns variable-length codes to input characters based on their frequencies. This enables more frequent characters to be represented with shorter codes, reducing the overall size of the data. The backend handles the compression and decompression processes, while the frontend provides a user-friendly interface for interacting with the application.

Getting Started

This is an example of how you may set up your project locally. To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.

Installation
