An implementation of the Base91 encoding scheme written in Zig.
It enables you to convert binary data to a Base91-encoded string and vice versa.
- Space Efficiency: Base91 produces shorter encoded strings compared to Base64, which can be advantageous when minimizing data size is a priority.
- Performance Trade-Off: Although Base91 is more space-efficient, its encoding/decoding operations are generally slower than those of Base64. This trade-off should be considered based on your application’s requirements.
- When to Use: Opt for Base91 when reducing the size of encoded data is critical, such as in bandwidth-constrained environments or when storing large volumes of encoded data.
- When to Avoid: If your application is performance-sensitive and the encoding/decoding speed is paramount, Base64 might be a more suitable alternative.
