= Compressed pattern matching
{wiki=Compressed_pattern_matching}
Compressed pattern matching refers to techniques and algorithms designed to search for patterns or substrings within compressed data. The main idea is that as data compression becomes more common due to its advantages in storage and transmission, efficient methods for querying this compressed data without fully decompressing it are increasingly necessary. \#\#\# Key Concepts: 1. **Compression**: Data compression involves reducing the size of data to save space or bandwidth. Common algorithms include Huffman coding, Lempel-Ziv compression, and others.
