# rle-js

* [Run-length encoding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-length_encoding) and decoding in JS.

## Features
* Vanilla node - no dependencies.
* Unix-style pipe support.

## How to use it
Encoding:
```bash
$ node rle-encode.js < input.txt
```

Decoding:
```bash
$ node rle-decode.js < rle-encoded.txt
```

## Requirements
* Node v8.x

## Running tests
Run `run-tests.sh` bash script to invoke the unit tests.

They are written using my fork of `jstinytest` which is bundled
inside `tests/tinytest.js`.

## Licence
LGPL v2.1 only.

See [COPYING](COPYING).
