rle.hpp: Run Length Encoding with either 8 or 16 bits run-length words.lzw.hpp: Lempel–Ziv–Welch compression with varying code lengths and a 4096 max entries dictionary.huffman.hpp: Simple Huffman Coding with 64-bits max code length.rice.hpp: Rice/Golomb Coding with optimal code length (8 bits max).
These libraries are header only and self contained. You have to include the .hpp in one source file
and define XYZ_IMPLEMENTATION to generate the implementation code in that source file. After that,
the header file can be used as a normal C++ header. This is the same design of the stb libraries.
See tests.cpp for some usage examples.
