LZObased
LZObased is a designation used in some contexts to describe data compression techniques and software that implement algorithms from the Lempel–Ziv (LZ) family. In general, LZObased methods encode data by finding repeated patterns and representing them as references to a previously seen dictionary, rather than as explicit raw data. A characteristic feature is the use of a dictionary that grows or slides over the input stream, enabling efficient back-references to earlier data.
Origins and principles: The LZ family began with LZ77, which introduced sliding-window matching, and LZ78, which
Variants and related concepts: LZ77-based codecs include deflate (used in ZIP and gzip), LZ4, and many streaming
Applications and performance: LZObased methods are widely used for file compression, networking, and embedded systems where
