📖 Usage

Basic Compression

import { compress, decompress } from '@zenithcore/ost-compression';

const sourceCode = `
function fibonacci(n) {
  if (n <= 1) return n;
  return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
}
`;

// Compress
const result = await compress(sourceCode, {
  method: 'huffman',
  labelLength: 3,
  windowLength: 512,
  enableOptimizations: true
});

console.log('Compression ratio:', result.ratio + 'x');
console.log('Original size:', sourceCode.length);
console.log('Compressed size:', result.compressed.length);

// Decompress
const restored = await decompress(result.compressed, result.metadata);
console.log('Restored:', restored === sourceCode); // true

Advanced Usage with OST Encoder

import { OSTEncoder, OSTDecoder } from '@zenithcore/ost-compression';

const encoder = new OSTEncoder({
  windowSize: 1024,
  labelLength: 4,
  minPatternLength: 3,
  maxPatternLength: 64,
  dictionarySize: 8192,
  enableSyntaxOptimization: true
});

// Encode
const encoded = await encoder.encode(sourceCode);
console.log('Dictionary patterns:', encoded.dictionary.size);
console.log('Compression ratio:', encoded.metadata.compressionRatio);

// Decode
const decoder = new OSTDecoder();
const decoded = await decoder.decode(encoded);
console.log('Successfully restored:', decoded.length, 'characters');

Configuration Options

interface OSTConfig {
  windowSize: number;           // Sliding window size (default: 512)
  labelLength: number;          // Pattern label length (default: 3)
  minPatternLength: number;     // Minimum pattern length (default: 2)
  maxPatternLength: number;     // Maximum pattern length (default: 32)
  dictionarySize: number;       // Maximum dictionary size (default: 4096)
  enableSyntaxOptimization: boolean; // Enable JS/TS optimizations (default: true)
}

🔬 Algorithm Details

Pattern Extraction

The OST algorithm uses a sliding window approach to extract recurring patterns:

1. Window Scanning: Slides through text with configurable window size
2. Pattern Frequency: Counts occurrence of all possible substrings
3. Benefit Calculation: Ranks patterns by frequency × length
4. Dictionary Building: Selects top patterns for compression dictionary

Syntax Optimization

For JavaScript/TypeScript code, OST applies preprocessing:

• function → ƒ (Unicode function symbol)
• => → → (Arrow symbol)
• const → ℂ (Complex numbers symbol)
• === → ≡ (Identical to symbol)
• And many more optimizations...

Encoding Process

1. Preprocessing: Apply syntax optimizations
2. Dictionary Building: Extract and rank patterns
3. Encoding: Replace patterns with dictionary references
4. Output: Compressed data + dictionary + metadata

📊 Performance

Compression Ratios (typical)

• JavaScript/TypeScript: 3-8x compression
• JSON data: 4-12x compression
• HTML/XML: 5-15x compression
• General text: 2-6x compression
