Struct BaseEncoding

pub struct BaseEncoding;

Provides utility functions for encoding and decoding between various bases.

Implementations

impl BaseEncoding

pub fn encode<T>(data: &T, base: Base) -> String

where T: AsRef<[u8]> + ?Sized,

Encodes the given data to the specified base.

pub fn decode<T>(data: &T, base: Base) -> Result<Vec<u8>>

where T: AsRef<str> + ?Sized,

Decodes the given data encoded as the specified base.

pub fn encode_base58<T>(data: &T) -> String

where T: AsRef<[u8]> + ?Sized,

Encodes the given data to Base::Base58Btc.

Equivalent to encode(data, Base58Btc).

pub fn decode_base58<T>(data: &T) -> Result<Vec<u8>>

where T: AsRef<str> + ?Sized,

Decodes the given data encoded as Base::Base58Btc.

Equivalent to decode(data, Base58Btc).

pub fn encode_multibase<T>(data: &T, base: Option<Base>) -> String

where T: AsRef<[u8]> + ?Sized,

Encodes the given data as Multibase with the given base, defaults to Base::Base58Btc if omitted.

NOTE: encode_multibase is different from encode because the Multibase format prepends a character representing the base-encoding to the output.

pub fn decode_multibase<T>(data: &T) -> Result<Vec<u8>>

where T: AsRef<str> + ?Sized,

Decodes the given data encoded as Multibase, with the base inferred from the leading character.
