title: How to compress a string?
body: <p>I would like to have a reversible compression for a type of string so that i can include it in URLs without keeping track of what it refers to. The string i would like to compress is SVG path string, here is a short primer: <a href="http://apike.ca/prog_svg_paths.html" rel="noreferrer">http://apike.ca/prog_svg_paths.html</a></p>
  
  <p>Basically, the string contains a character, followed by arbitrary number of integers, then another character followed by arbitrary number of integers and so on. </p>
  
  <p>If anyone knows of a good resource for this, it would be much appreciated!</p>
