# Base 62
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 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 |
