haskell-multibase

Implementation of multibase -self identifying base encodings- in Haskell.

Install

This library can be built with cabal:

cd path/to/extracted/library
cabal build

if you want to install it:

cabal install

Usage

This library exports the Multibase module which comes with five functions:

multiEncode :: String -> Data.ByteString.ByteString -> Bool ->  Data.ByteString.ByteString

-- takes a base encoding and a byteString and returns the encoded byteString with its base prefix
-- Bool is the padding flag (makes a difference only for bases for which padding is standardized)

decodeByteString :: Data.ByteString.ByteString -> Data.ByteString.ByteString

-- takes a multibase-encoded byteString and decodes it (UTF-8), prefix is used to determine encoding

appendPrefix :: String -> Data.ByteString.ByteString -> Data.ByteString.ByteString

-- appends a multibase prefix to a byteString without encoding it

removePrefix :: Data.ByteString.ByteString -> Data.ByteString.ByteString

-- just removes the prefix, be careful not to use it on a non-prefixed byteString

String can be : "base id" , "base 2" , "base 8" , "base 10" , "base16" , "base 32" , "base 32z" , "base 32hex" , "base 58btc" , "base 58flickr" , "base 64" , "base64URL"

Please check multibase readme for more information.
