string-codec

Encoder/Decoder of various algorithm

Installation

via npm (node package manager)

$ npm install string-codec

Usage Example

Require package:

var codec = require('string-codec');

Encode to Base64:

codec.encoder('hello','base64');
// => 'aGVsbG8='

Decode from Base64:

codec.decoder('aGVsbG8=','base64');
// => 'hello'

Encode Buffer to Base64:

buffer = new Buffer('hello');
// => <Buffer 68 65 6c 6c 6f>
encbuf = codec.bufferEncoder(buffer,'base64');
// => <Buffer 61 47 56 73 62 47 38 3d>
encbuf.toString();
// => 'aGVsbG8='

decbuf = codec.bufferDecoder(encbuf,'base64');
// => <Buffer 68 65 6c 6c 6f>
decbuf.toString();
// => 'hello'

List supported algorithm:

var codec = require('string-codec');

// list array of encoding algorithm
codec.ENC_ALGOS
// => ["hex","ascii","base64","base85","z85","ascii85","base91","rot5",
       "rot13", "rot18", "rot47","rev","crc1","crc8","crc16","crc24",
       "crc32","adler32","url","unixtime","lower","upper","punycode", etc.

// list array of decoding algorithm
codec.DEC_ALGOS
// => ["hex","ascii","base64","base85","z85","ascii85","base91","rot5",
       "rot13","rot18","rot47","rev","url","unixtime","punycode", etc.

API

Supported specifications

encoder / bufferEncoder

encoder requires string input and outputs string

bufferEncoder requires Buffer input and outputs Buffer

decode / bufferDecoder

decoder requires string input and outputs string

bufferDecoder requires Buffer input and outputs Buffer

Input hex string

Accept hex string prefixed with '0x' or separated by a colon (:)

codec.decoder('616263','hex');
// => abc
codec.decoder('0x616263','hex');
// => abc
codec.decoder('61:62:63','hex');
// => abc
codec.decoder('0x61:62:63','hex');
// => abc
