发布我基于 Princeton.EDU 版本创建的 Java 中霍夫曼树的完整实现。普林斯顿包的版本可以作为学术示例，但在上下文之外并不能真正使用。
下面的示例可以通过提供一个字符串作为输入并获取一个字节数组作为输出来使用。
如果您想将输出编码为人类可读的格式，请使用标准 java Base64 编码器（空间效率非常低）或查看我发布的 HumanByte 类 here

import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;

/**************************************************************************************************************
* Used edu.princeton.cs version of huffman algorithm and made it easily usable outside of example context
* replaced proprietary priority queue by Java standard one
* created binary output/input that has minimal features needed
*
* If human readable encoding of huffman encoded string is desired then look at HumanByte class
* that was posted here
