Deflate is a data compression algorithm that is used to reduce the size of data for storage or transmission. It combines two primary techniques: the LZ77 algorithm, which is a lossless data compression method that replaces repeated occurrences of data with references to a single copy, and Huffman coding, which is a variable-length coding scheme that assigns shorter codes to more frequently occurring characters and longer codes to rarer ones.
