1 # uri-pack 2 3 uri-pack is an efficient probabilistic binary encoding for URI 4 5 ## Encoding 6 7 Most commonly used characters (a-z . / - %) are encoded using 5b, remaining 8 ASCII characters are encoded using 11b. If more than half the characters in a 9 URI are encoded with 5b, the encoded size is smaller than a simple ASCII format. 10 11 On the majestic_million database, 98.77% of the domain name were smaller, going 12 from an average encoded size of 14B in ASCII to 10B using our format. 13 14 ## Usage 15 16 ```rust 17 use uri_pack::{pack_uri, unpack_uri}; 18 19 let domain = "http://example.com/static_file/image.png"; 20 let encoded = pack_uri(domain).unwrap(); 21 let decoded = unpack_uri(&encoded).unwrap(); 22 assert_eq!(domain, decoded); 23 ```
