Paste is a client-side paste service which works **without any database** or back-end code

Instead, 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]

As 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

> **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

## How it works

When 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>`

When you open a link which contains data, the fragment is decoded, decompressed, and displayed in the editor

Delta compression using up to 4 threads.

## Embedded Paste snippets

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

[This is what an embedded Paste snippet looks like](https://jsfiddle.net/bokub/nwtcdrph/show)

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