To encode a text using the Huffman algorithm, follow these steps:

1. Type the text to encode on the left input
2. Click 'Encode'
3. The text will be analyzed and the frequency table of the symbols will be generated.
4. The Huffman tree is created from the frequency table
5. The code alphabet is generated from the tree (to learn how, go to the theory section of the website).
6. The input text gets encoded using the alphabet, showing the result in the right text area.
7. Aditional calculations and statistics are computed.

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app. It is deployed with the Vercel Platform. The following libraries have been used:

• TailwindCSS
• react-d3-tree
• next-pwa

Download the repository, and install the dependencies npm install. Afterward, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the project.

You can find a hi-fi mockup design using Figma here.

As a curiosity, David A. Huffman, the author of the algorithm with his name, was also a pioneer in mathematical origami. The decorations of this page are inspired by the diagrams of his models.
