Comment on Base65536 encodingparent

Comments

For raw packets obviously not, but if:

- you're sending big byte arrays over json/xml

- you cannot switch to a more efficient medium

- (but you can make your remote counterpart adopt a different encoding)

- and you still need to maximize your throughput

then I guess you might consider base85 for utf-8 or base32k for utf-16?

JSON is UTF-8 by definition, so at best you'd be using a format that looked similar.
