Usage

Here's an example with a simple string

`ts
import {encode, encodeURI, encodeURIComponent,
decode, decodeURI, decodeURIComponent } from '@kunigi/string-compression'

encode('hello world!') // hello world':_
encodeURI('hello world!') // hello%20world':_
encodeURIComponent('hello world!') // hello%20world'%3A_

decode(hello world':_) // hello world!
decodeURI(hello%20world':_) // hello world!
decodeURIComponent(hello%20world'%3A_) // hello world!
`

Here's an example with an JSON object.
`ts
import {encode, encodeURI, decode, decodeURI } from '@kunigi/string-compression'

const simpleObject = { x: 1, y: 2 }

encode(JSON.stringify(simpleObject)) // '(\\'x\\!1,\\'y\\!2)'_
encodeURI(JSON.stringify(simpleObject)) // '(%5C'x%5C!1,%5C'y%5C!2)'_
encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(simpleObject)) // '(%5C'x%5C!1%2C%5C'y%5C!2)'_

decode('(\\'x\\!1,\\'y\\!2)'_) // { x: 1, y: 2 }
decodeURI('(%5C'x%5C!1,%5C'y%5C!2)'_) // { x: 1, y: 2}
decodeURIComponent('(%5C'x%5C!1%2C%5C'y%5C!2)'_) // { x: 1, y: 2 }
