MadZip Utility

Overview

The MadZip Utility is a simple file compression utility. It utilizes Huffman coding to compress files efficiently.

Technologies Used

• Java: Java Language, JavaFX
• Data Structures: Trees, Heaps
• Algorithms: Huffman Coding

The Product

The final product was a file compression utility that efficiently compresses files using Huffman coding.

The utility uses a custom implementation of Huffman coding to achieve optimal compression ratios.

It also includes features such as a user-friendly interface, support for multiple file formats, and the ability to adjust compression settings.
