splatext

experimental 'splatted' text format

The goal of this experiment is to convert a text set into an array of mapped syllables.

For a two node network system both the client and the server have a 'library' of word syllables. Those syllables are then joined via mapping. This reduces the actual library size and network bandwidth when multiple words contain the same syllables.

Usage

const lib = {
  a: [ 's' ],
  b: [ ],
  c: [ 'dog', 'fox', 'the' ],
  d: [ 'brown', 'jump', 'lazy', 'over', 'quick' ]
}

const mapped = [ 'c:2', 'd:4', 'd:0', 'c:1', 'd:1.a:0', 'd:3', 'c:2', 'd:2', 'c:0' ]

const splat = splatext(mapped, lib)

console.log(splat.join(' '))
// => the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

This experiment's efficiency is only noticed when the number of duplicated words, and average word length, is greater than the combined 'splat' size.
