Types of compression

In order to maintain large data object efficiently, the data objects need to be compressed to reduce the file size for storage of the objects. Compression eliminates redundancies in the data pattern, it takes less time for transmission over the network. This automatically decreases the storage and transmission costs. There are two types of compression they are lossless compression and lossy compression. In the lossless compression the compression of the data won’t affect the data. But in the lossy compression the compression for the data affects the quality of the data
