  2. Binary-to-text encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-to-text_encoding

    The best-known is the string "From " (including trailing space) at the beginning of a line, used to separate mail messages in the mbox file format. By using a binary-to-text encoding on messages that are already plain text, then decoding on the other end, one can make such systems appear to be completely transparent. This is sometimes referred ...

  3. CBOR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBOR

    Types 2 and 3 have a count field which encodes the length in bytes of the payload. Type 2 is an unstructured byte string. Type 3 is a UTF-8 text string. A short count of 31 indicates an indefinite-length string. This is followed by zero or more definite-length strings of the same type, terminated by a "break" marker byte.

  4. Computer number format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_number_format

    On most modern computers, this is an eight bit string. Because the definition of a byte is related to the number of bits composing a character, some older computers have used a different bit length for their byte. [2] In many computer architectures, the byte is the smallest addressable unit, the atom of addressability, say. For example, even ...

    UTF-8-encoded, preceded by varint-encoded integer length of string in bytes Repeated value with the same tag or, for varint-encoded integers only, values packed contiguously and prefixed by tag and total byte length — Smile \x21

  6. LEB128 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LEB128

    It also puts all the prefix bits at the beginning of the word, instead of at the beginning of each byte. Human interface device report descriptor bytes use a byte-count bitfield of 2 bits to encode the size of the following integer of zero, one, two, or four bytes, always little endian. Signedness, i.e. whether to expand the shortened integer ...

  7. Binary code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code

    The modern binary number system, the basis for binary code, is an invention by Gottfried Leibniz in 1689 and appears in his article Explication de l'Arithmétique Binaire (English: Explanation of the Binary Arithmetic) which uses only the characters 1 and 0, and some remarks on its usefulness.

  8. Base64 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64

    To convert data to PEM printable encoding, the first byte is placed in the most significant eight bits of a 24-bit buffer, the next in the middle eight, and the third in the least significant eight bits. If there are fewer than three bytes left to encode (or in total), the remaining buffer bits will be zero.

  9. Variable-length quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_quantity

    Base-128 compression is known by many names – VB (Variable Byte), VByte, Varint, VInt, EncInt etc. [1] A variable-length quantity (VLQ) was defined for use in the standard MIDI file format [2] to save additional space for a resource-constrained system, and is also used in the later Extensible Music Format (XMF).
