A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

```private suspend inline fun &lt;reified T&gt; encodeParams(value: T): String {
    return withContext(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>) {
        URLEncoder.encode(
            /* s = */ ProtoBuf.encodeToByteArray(value).encodeBase64(),
            /* enc = */ Charsets.UTF_8.name
        )
    }
}```
Could I improve this code any further? I wasn't sure if there was something simpler i could use

I would use `Dispatchers.Default` to not unnecessarily block the IO dispatcher for non IO operations.

Also not sure why You need the url encoder if you encode a base 64 string. :thinking_face: 

<https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Base64#getUrlEncoder()|https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Base64#getUrlEncoder()>
Will already give you an url encoded string.

My min api level is 21, so I would have to add extra logic to use that

I’d then create a api level switch to not create unnecessary strings on newer phones.

or as you are on Android there is also `android.util.Base64`

Not sure about simplicity but if the encoding object is too large, then that might be a performance issue, as that would load the entire object into memory once, maybe stream the protocol buffers encoding to avoid loading the entire object.
