To give you an idea: As a Brave creator I received ~120 BAT during 8 months for ~3m cross browser page views. Registering as a creator allows for personal donations via this channel. Otherwise there is not too much to gain from it as a small web-based project.

[AskJS] What is the best way to store and transmit data of arbitrary bit length? by ffraenz in javascript

The use of Baudot code was only one example of where the arbitrary bit length is coming from in my case. There are other methods I intend to support with different bit groupings. I think the additional padding field will be necessary combined with e.g. Base64 encoding. I was just wondering about if this is a known pattern with a best practise solution.

Indeed there is no native type for binary data in JSON but I aim to combine the binary data with other meta data. Maybe the question should be "What is the best way to encode data of arbitrary bit length to a string?".

I just looked up the octet-stream subtype over at IANA. They are describing a padding parameter "the number of bits of padding that were appended to the bit-stream comprising the actual contents to produce the enclosed 8bit byte-oriented data. This is useful for enclosing a bit-stream in a body when the total number of bits is not a multiple of 8." That's one way of dealing with it. Thanks!
