Delta encoding is a data compression technique that stores data as the difference (the "delta") between sequential data rather than storing the complete data set. This method is particularly effective in scenarios where data changes incrementally over time, as it can significantly reduce the amount of storage space needed by only recording changes instead of the entire dataset.
