encodeURLComponentCompressed

This project provides an alternative to the Javascript encodeURLComponent function. It encoded all bytes in two characters or fewer (URL encoding uses 3 for percent escaped bytes). It also implements a simple prefix coder to more efficiently store common Enlish-language text strings.

Common English-language strings can be reduced in size by 30-40% compared to plain text, and can be reduced by about 50% compared to the baseline encodeURLComponent function.

Goals

• Outperform URL percent encoding for all characters
• Outperform plain text for short English language text snippets
• Be as fast as possible for both encoding and decoding
