Run-length encoding

A tiny (150 bytes) binary run-length encoding (RLE) packer/unpacker

  !GitHub

The article about Run Length Algorithm is here. My usecase of rle-data is create binary matrix for image segmentation (Canvas) to reduce data size.

Encoding format

#### Incoming data

``javascript
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0];
`

#### Outgoing data

`javascript
[5, 0, 2, 1, 2, 0];
`

Decoding format

#### Incoming data

`javascript
[4, 0, 4, 1, 3, 0];
`

#### Outgoing data

`javascript
[0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0];
`

Installation

`shell
npm i rle-data
`

API

`javascript
let rle = require("rle-data");

rle.encode([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0]);
rle.decode([4, 0, 4, 1, 3, 0]);
``
