+## Encode and decode base32
+
+[![data-encoding-badge]][data-encoding] [![cat-encoding-badge]][cat-encoding]
+
+The [`data_encoding`] crate provides a `BASE32::encode` method which takes a
+`&[u8]` and returns a `String` containing the base32 representation of the data.
+
+Similarly, a `BASE32::decode` method is provided which takes a `&[u8]` and
+returns a `Vec<u8>` if the input data is successfully decoded.
+
+The example below coverts `&[u8]` data to base32 equivalent and compares this
+value to the expected value.
+
+```rust,edition2018
+use data_encoding::{BASE32, DecodeError};
+
+fn main() -> Result<(), DecodeError> {
+    let original = b"Cooking with Rust";
+    let expected = "INXW623JNZTSA53JORUCAUTVON2A====";
+
+    let encoded = BASE32.encode(original);
+    assert_eq!(encoded, expected);
+
+    let decoded = BASE32.decode(encoded.as_bytes())?;
+    assert_eq!(&decoded[..], &original[..]);
+
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
