Compressing a string

[yovalk]

Hello,
I store long strings in the client side and wish to have tham somehow compressed.
Anyone knows a method to javascript to compress/decompress a string?

Thanks,
Yuval

there is no built in method to do that but you may code your own algorithm in a manner like the Huffman Compression does :)

kind regards

Thanks for your answer,
I am familiar with the huffman algorithm,
however my time is short,
I am working on a project whose main issue is not the compression but it has limited storing space and I was wondering if someone knows where such an algorithm was implemented.

Thanks,
Yuval

See this thread. There's some discussion of compression and some useful tools you could use.
