Tailored compression of Java class files
R. Nigel Horspool, Jason David Corless · Software Practice and Experience · 1998
Java class files can be transmitted more efficiently over a network if they are compressed. After an examination of the class file structure and obtaining statistics from a large collection of class files, we propose a compression scheme that is tailored to class files. Our scheme achieves significantly better compression than commonly used methods such as ZIP. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
