encoding

The encoding module provides flat encode/decode helpers for the common text encodings. It’s a convenience alternative to the submodule-based encode module — use whichever reads better. Import it with import encoding.

Functions

Function	Signature	Description
`base64Encode`	`encoding.base64Encode(s: string) → string`	Standard base64 encode
`base64Decode`	`encoding.base64Decode(s: string) → string`	Standard base64 decode
`base64UrlEncode`	`encoding.base64UrlEncode(s: string) → string`	URL-safe base64 encode
`base64UrlDecode`	`encoding.base64UrlDecode(s: string) → string`	URL-safe base64 decode
`base32Encode`	`encoding.base32Encode(s: string) → string`	Base32 encode
`base32Decode`	`encoding.base32Decode(s: string) → string`	Base32 decode
`hexEncode`	`encoding.hexEncode(s: string) → string`	Hex encode
`hexDecode`	`encoding.hexDecode(s: string) → string`	Hex decode

Example

import encoding

let token = encoding.base64UrlEncode("user:42")
println(token)
println(encoding.base64UrlDecode(token))   // "user:42"

println(encoding.hexEncode("Gо"))           // hex of the UTF-8 bytes
