How to Compress a File Using Java (Text Based Files)

Greetings, today we are here with a video on how to compress a text based file using Java. By text based, we mean file types like, .txt, .csv or .rft. Future tutorials will cover other types of files but this java compression tutorial works only for text based file types.

We can use Java's deflater class to write compressed data to a new file. We then check the size of this "compressed" file and compare it to the original file. If the size is greater than or equal to the original file size, we delete the "compressed" file and inform the user we couldn't compress the data.

If the new file size is smaller than the original, the compression worked and we inform the user of that.
