About:
aws-c-compression is a C99 library providing robust Huffman encoding and decoding utilities. It is designed for high-performance data compression scenarios within the AWS C ecosystem. This library serves as a foundational component for other AWS C SDK modules requiring efficient binary data serialization.
Key Features:
  • C99 standard compliance
  • Huffman encoding/decoding
  • AWS C ecosystem integration
  • Low-level memory management
Use Cases:
  • Compressing data for AWS API requests
  • Optimizing binary payload sizes in C applications
  • Building custom compression-aware network protocols
Alternatives:
  • zlib – zlib offers general-purpose DEFLATE compression, whereas aws-c-compression is specialized for Huffman coding within AWS services.
  • libbrotli – libbrotli provides a more complex, modern compression algorithm with higher ratios, while aws-c-compression is lighter and AWS-compatible.
