☁️ **Cloud Infrastructure** – Maximize operational efficiency with **significant savings** on storage and egress costs, making large-scale log aggregation and backup more economical.

## ⚡ Technical Implementation

### Architecture Overview
TXC compresses text and log files using a **token-based, dictionary-driven approach** optimized for high-density compression:

1. **Tokenization:** Splits text into words and whitespace sequences for efficient pattern recognition.
2. **Adaptive Dictionary:** Dynamically maps recurring tokens to unique integer IDs, growing the dictionary as new tokens are encountered.
3. **Entropy Compression:** Compresses the token ID stream using **Zstd**, achieving high compression ratios via statistical encoding.
4. **File Boundary Preservation:** Tracks original file boundaries to ensure accurate decompression of multiple files in a single package.

### Performance Characteristics
| Aspect | TXC | Traditional Compressors |
|--------|------------|------------------------|
| **Compression Ratio** | **Best-in-class for text/logs** | Often suboptimal for text |
| **Speed** | Competitive with fastest | Tradeoff: either fast OR dense |
| **Memory Usage** | Predictable, linear in tokens | Variable by algorithm |
| **Text Optimization** | Token-aware for text/logs | General-purpose compressors


## 🚀 Quick Start Deployment

### Installation
PyPI support will be added soon. For now, install from source:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/JanBremec/txc-compressor.git
cd txc-compressor
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
```

### Basic Usage

```python 
from txc_compressor import TXCompressor

# Initialize compressor with optional dictionary file
compressor = TXCompressor(dict_path="txc_dict.bin")

# Compress multiple text files into a single package
input_files = ["log1.txt", "log2.txt"]
output_package = "compressed_package.pkl"
compressed_size = compressor.encode_files(input_files, output_package)
print(f"Compressed size: {compressed_size} bytes")

# Decompress package into output directory
output_dir = "restored_files"
restored_files = compressor.decode_package(output_package, output_dir)
print(f"Files restored: {restored_files}")
```

### Notes:
- The compressor automatically builds and updates the dictionary.
- Works with multiple files and preserves file boundaries.
- Uses Zstandard for high-speed and high-ratio compression.
