// Base85-Kodierung für effiziente Datenkompression
High Efficiency
More efficient than Base64, producing ~25% smaller output for the same data.

Adobe Standard
Uses the standard ASCII85 format with <~ ~> delimiters, compatible with PostScript.
// ÜBER BASE85-KODIERUNG
Wie Base85 funktioniert:
Base85 (ASCII85) verwendet 85 druckbare Zeichen zur Datendarstellung. Es bietet bessere Kompressionseffizienz als Base64, was es ideal für große Datenmengen macht.
Beispiel:
"Hallo" → <~87cURD]j7BEbo7~>
Warum Base85 verwenden:
- >Hohe Kompressionseffizienz
- >Kleiner als Base64
- >In PostScript/PDF verwendet
- >Ideal für große Daten
- >Ausgezeichnetes Kompressionsverhältnis
>> häufig gestellte Fragen
What is Base85 encoding?
Base85, also known as ASCII85, is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that uses 85 printable ASCII characters to represent binary data more efficiently than Base64.
Why is Base85 more efficient than Base64?
Base85 encodes 4 bytes as 5 characters (80% efficiency) while Base64 encodes 3 bytes as 4 characters (75% efficiency), making Base85 about 25% more space-efficient.
What are the <~ ~> delimiters?
The <~ and ~> delimiters are part of the Adobe ASCII85 standard, marking the beginning and end of encoded data. They help identify Base85 content in documents.
What does the 'z' character mean?
The 'z' character is a special shortcut in ASCII85 that represents four consecutive zero bytes (\x00\x00\x00\x00), making the encoding more efficient.
