Lempel–Ziv–Welch compression utility

What is LZW compression utility?
The 'LZW compression utility' is an efficient data compression tool. It is a Chrome extension that compresses text strings with the high utility LZW algorithm. By creating smaller file sizes, it enhances the speed, storage, and performance of data handling. Notable for its use in GIF image formats and Unix file compression processes, this tool is an improvement on the LZ78 algorithm.

Summary

Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW) is a universal lossless data compression algorithm created by Abraham Lempel, Jacob Ziv, and Terry Welch. It was published by Welch in 1984 as an improved implementation of the LZ78 algorithm published by Lempel and Ziv in 1978. It was the algorithm of the widely used Unix file compression utility compress, and is used in the GIF image format.(Wikipedia)

This app takes simple string and returns its output table, string table and compression ration using the LZW algorithm.
