Binary-to-text encoding implementations in C#.
| Package | NuGet | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CyberDot.Encoding.Base65536 | CyberDot.Encoding.Base65536 |
Base65536 - packs 2 bytes per character using "safe" Unicode code points, so the encoded text is equally valid as UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32. |
| CyberDot.Encoding.Base2048 | CyberDot.Encoding.Base2048 |
Base2048 - packs 11 bits per character, optimised for services with per-character length limits (e.g. Twitter). |
Both packages expose the same shape of API: a static Encode/Decode pair for one-shot
use, plus ICryptoTransform implementations (To*Transform/From*Transform) that plug
into CryptoStream for streaming encode/decode without buffering the whole payload in
memory.
using CyberDot.Encoding.Base65536; var bytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("hello world"); var encoded = Base65536.Encode(bytes); // Output: 驨ꍬ啯𒁷ꍲᕤ var decoded = Base65536.Decode(encoded); // Output: hello world
using CyberDot.Encoding.Base2048; var bytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("hello world"); var encoded = Base2048.Encode(bytes); // Output: ڵϠɲණæஊಢࢷ var decoded = Base2048.Decode(encoded); // Output: hello world
