A python module to interface with Jeremy Collake's JCALG1 compression algorithm.
Either clone the github repo
git clone https://github.com/CallMeAlexO/jcalg1.git
cd jcalg1
python setup.py install
Or use pip
pip install jcalg1
I planned to make JCALG1 as similar as possible to zlib, for consistancy.
There are two functions: compress and decompress.
import jcalg1
text = """
Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb
Whose fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.""".encode('utf-8')
compressed = jcalg1.compress(text, level=9, skip_checksum=False)
decompressed = jcalg1.decompress(compressed)
print(decompressed == text)This project is licensed under the MIT License - see the LICENSE.md file for details
- The algorithm's original author - Jeremy Collake, who gave me permission to share this on github. Thank you Jeremy!
