Project Proposal: File Compression Tool

Project Overview

The File Compression Tool is a desktop application built using Java, which allows users to compress and decompress various types of files. The tool supports multiple file formats including text files, image files, audio files, and document files. The application utilizes a combination of Huffman coding, ZIP compression, and specific Java libraries for handling different file types.

Objectives

• Develop a user-friendly GUI: The application will feature a clean and intuitive interface that enables users to easily select files for compression or decompression.
• Support multiple file formats: The tool will handle text files, image files, audio files, and document files.
• Implement compression algorithms: The project will utilize Huffman coding for text files and ZIP compression for other file formats.
• Ensure cross-platform compatibility: The tool will be developed using Java to ensure compatibility across different operating systems.

File Formats Supported

• Text Files: .txt (compressed using Huffman coding)
• Image Files: .png, .jpg, .bmp (compressed using ZIP compression)
• Audio Files: .wav, .mp3 (compressed using ZIP compression)
• Document Files: .pdf, .docx (compressed using ZIP compression)

Project Scope

1. GUI Development:

   • Design and implement a graphical user interface using Java Swing.
   • Include options to select files, compress, and decompress them.

2. Compression Logic:

   • Implement Huffman coding for text file compression.
   • Use ZIP compression for images, audio, and document files.
   • Handle decompression for all supported file types.

3. Testing and Validation:

   • Test the tool with various file types and sizes.
   • Ensure proper error handling and user feedback mechanisms.

4. Documentation:

   • Provide detailed documentation and a README file for the project.
   • Include a project proposal and setup instructions.

Technologies

• Programming Language: Java
• Libraries: Java Swing, ImageIO, Apache PDFBox, Apache POI, JLayer
• Tools: GitHub for version control

Deliverables

• A fully functional file compression tool with a clean GUI.
• Complete documentation including setup instructions, usage guide, and project proposal.
