Abstract: Digital data is owned, used and enjoyed by many people all over the world. Compressing data is mostly done when we face with problems of constraints in memory. In this paper we have attempted to discuss in general about compression and decompression, the different techniques of compression using ‘Lossless method compression and decompression’ on text data using a simple coding technique called Huffmann coding.
Keywords: Lossless Text Data Compression, Huffman Coding.

Scope of the Article: Data Analytics
