Base85 is between base64 and base122, while using printable characters. Any statistics of compressed base85?

- Dylan16807 10y agoI don't have an easy way to try a test corpus but I fed this comment page into it. Raw size: 37409 gzip(raw): 6170 gzip(base16): 7482 gzip(base64): 10675 gzip(base85): 10549 So it works better than base64, and it has the advantage of working 4 bytes at a time rather than 3. Also note that when you're feeding in binary data the gzip sizes for raw and base-xx data get a lot closer together.
