Encoder/decoder for The Base45 Data Encoding for Node.js and Web browsers
This library provides an encoder and decoder for RFC 9285 [The Base45 Encoding Scheme][] using an alphabet designed for efficient use in QR codes using Alphanumeric mode. It works in both Node.js and in Web browsers with no dependencies.
- Node.js >=18 is supported.
To install for Node.js or in a Web project using npm:
npm install @digitalbazaar/base45
To install locally or for development:
git clone https://github.com/digitalbazaar/base45.git
cd base45
npm install
import {encode, decode} from '@digitalbazaar/base45';encode(input])input:Uint8Array- bytes to encode- Returns a base45 encoded string.
import {encode} from '@digitalbazaar/base45';
const input1 = Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4]);
const encoded1 = encode(input1);
// > X507H0decode(input)input:String- string to decode- Returns a
Uint8Arraywith the decoded bytes.
import {decode} from '@digitalbazaar/base45';
const input2 = 'X507H0';
const decoded2 = decode(input2);
// > Uint8Array [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]This library uses Uint8Array for encoder input and decoder output. If conversion to and from strings is needed it can be done with a variety of tools such as TextEncoder and TextDecoder using the Encoding standard.
const input3 = new TextEncoder().encode('abc');
const encoded3 = encode(input3);
// > 0EC92
const decoded4 = decode(encoded3);
const output4 = new TextDecoder().decode(decoded4);
// > abc- Processing large inputs could result in high resource usage.
