Specialized library to compress a list of numbers for use in REST URLs
Use case
When having multiple IDs in URLs and alternatives like using POST are not preferable this library can help you by compressing arrays of numbers.
The performance of compression depends on the types of numbers found in the array.
Algorithm.
- Sort the numbers
- Replace consecutive numbers by ranges (
[200, 201, 202, 205]becomes[[200, 202], [205]]). - For each range find a factor that is a multiple of 100.
The end result looks like this: 2X0T2N5
