4 | Base91 is a method for encoding binary data as printable ASCII |
5 | characters. Every two base91 characters (16 bits) encode 13 or 14 bits | |
6 | of actual data, thus the overhead is between 14% and 23%, an | |
7 | improvement over base64's overhead of 33%. | |

10 | whole strings and an OO interface for encoding/decoding in chunks. | |
