Compression

Overview

Compression is a technique to remove extra space in something to have that something be represented by the smallest possible object. Zipping a file is a common compression technique. The Compression class has static methods that work against strings and byte arrays. Eg. Takes a string, compresses it to a byte[], then can decompress this back to a string.
