After reviewing all the ways you can ASCII encode binary data, I think Crockford's Base 32 is my favorite.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* No special characters
|
||
|
|
* No padding to get in the way (there is an optional checksum, though)
|
||
|
|
* URL safe and file system safe (even on case insensitive file systems like FAT16/FAT32)
|
||
|
|
* Human-centric (reduced risk of typos, easy to say over the phone)
|
||
|
|
* Easy to implement (I wrote an encoder in one afternoon)
