basex
import "github.com/eknkc/basex"
Package basex provides fast base encoding / decoding of any given alphabet using bitcoin style leading zero compression. It is a GO port of https://github.com/cryptocoinjs/base-x
Usage
type Encoding
type Encoding struct {
}Encoding is a custom base encoding defined by an alphabet. It should bre created using NewEncoding function
func NewEncoding
func NewEncoding(alphabet string) (*Encoding, error)NewEncoding returns a custom base encoder defined by the alphabet string. The alphabet should contain non-repeating characters. Ordering is important. Example alphabets:
- base2: 01
- base16: 0123456789abcdef
- base32: 0123456789ABCDEFGHJKMNPQRSTVWXYZ
- base62: 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
func (*Encoding) Decode
func (e *Encoding) Decode(source string) ([]byte, error)Decode function decodes a string previously obtained from Encode, using the same alphabet and returns a byte slice In case the input is not valid an arror will be returned
func (*Encoding) Encode
func (e *Encoding) Encode(source []byte) stringEncode function receives a byte slice and encodes it to a string using the alphabet provided
