How does it work?

Encode

the programm reads the text of the input file and builds a binary tree out of it. According to the Huffman coding every char in the tree gets a code like "H = 101". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huffman_coding
Then the encoded string gets turned into bytes and saved as a .huff. The tree that was used to encode the file gets saved in the runtime folder.

Decode

to Deode a .huff file the programm needs to load the .tree file form the runtime folder. after that the .huff file is being read bit by bit and once the code matches the code in the tree it gets translatet to the corresponding a char.
