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%. | |

9 | This module provides a procedural interface for encoding/decoding |
| 10 | whole strings and an OO interface for encoding/decoding in chunks. | |
