Abstract:

This research paper provides lossless data compression techniques and comparison between them. Data Compression is a process which reduces the size of data removing excessive information from it. It reduces the redundancy in data representation to decrease the storage required for that data and thus also reduces the communication cost by using the available bandwidth effectively. Data compression is important application in the area of file storage and distributed system. For different data formats like text, audio, video and image files there are different data compression techniques. Mainly there are two forms of data compression: - Lossy and Lossless. But in the lossless data compression, the integrity of data is to be preserved.
