z85-codec

Z85 - ZeroMQ's ascii85 encoding format

Why should i use this package instead of z85?

This package and z85 uses the same reference implementation provided by ZeroMQ. The difference is that this library provides Typescript declarations and uses typed arrays to be compatible in the browser.
