5Paste is a client-side paste service which works **without any database** or back-end code
6
7Instead, the data is **compressed** then **stored** into a unique URL that can be decoded later. For example, [this is the HTML code of the service][example]
8
9As a result, there is no risk of data being lost or deleted. Nobody will ever be able to read your data unless you give them the link
10
11> **Note:** This project is a clone of [Topaz's paste service][topaz-example], with a reworked design and additional features such as syntax highlighting, line numbers, and more

13## How it works
14
15When you click on "Generate Link", the whole text is compressed using the [LZMA algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lempel%E2%80%93Ziv%E2%80%93Markov_chain_algorithm), encoded in [Base64](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64), and put in the optional fragment at the end of the URL: `bokub.github.io/paste/#<data is here>`
16
17When you open a link which contains data, the fragment is decoded, decompressed, and displayed in the editor
18
19Delta compression using up to 4 threads.

21## Embedded Paste snippets

23You can include code snippets into your own website by clicking the _Embed_ button and using the generated HTML code

27Feel free to edit the generated `height` and `width` attributes so they suit your needs
