Huffman coding is a popular algorithm used for lossless data compression. It assigns variable-length codes to input characters, with shorter codes for more frequent characters, resulting in efficient compression.

This tool is developed based on Electron, React, and C++, allowing encoding and decoding of text using the Huffman algorithm while ensuring performance, software aesthetics, and user-friendliness, and providing visual rendering of the Huffman tree.
