Writing binary data? #8

Open EliasL opened 6 months ago

EliasL commented 6 months ago

Is there any plan to allow for storing the data in binary form instead of ascii?

EliasL commented 6 months ago

Never mind. It seems as though using a binary format requires a conversion to base64, which loses any benefits using a binary format might have had. I guess ascii is fine, but let me know if anyone has any good alternatives for storing data like this more efficiently.
