## Introduction of base 62
|
|||
|
|
- Encodes to `[a-zA-Z0-9]` which works well for urls, eliminating the need for escaping special characters
|
|||
|
|
- Only one hash result for the original input and and the operation is deterministic (no randomness involved)
|
|||
|
|
- Base 64 is another popular encoding but provides issues for urls because of the additional `+` and `/` characters
