Base85 Encoder / Decoder
Encode and decode ASCII85 (Adobe Base85) with <~ ~> delimiters.
About Base85 / ASCII85 encoding
Base85 (ASCII85) encodes binary data using 85 printable ASCII characters (codes 33–117), producing output that is ~25% shorter than Base64. Every 4 bytes of input map to 5 output characters. The Adobe/PostScript variant wraps the data in <~ and ~> delimiters and uses a special "z" shorthand for four zero bytes. It is used in PDF streams and PostScript files.
For Base64 encoding, see the Base64 Encoder / Decoder.
