I just recently learned of a much much more efficient version of base, called Ascii85 (or Base85) and as seen, it is much more storage efficient than say, Base64 or Uuencode:
This is in Base85:
- Hello =
BOu!rDZ
This is in Base64:
- Hello =
SGVsbG8=
So, I was wondering if it’s possible to turn files into Base85, and if it’s possible to make data URLs out of said Base85 file codes. If so this would revolutionize my coding platform, and cause those enormous Base64 file sources to shrink by a large sum.
If above is possible, is there an automated data URL maker for it?
What is the actual problem you are trying to solve here? Encoding, decoding and re-encoding are all kind of trivial tasks once you have a goal. So what is your ultimate goal and why? – JakeGould – 2019-05-03T02:13:40.687
