encdec

encdec is a node module that helps you baseXX encode and decode.

It defaults to using base58 encoding, but can easily be adapted for base16, base32, base64 - or any other base - by passing the alphabet you want to use to the create() method.

Usage

var base58 = require('encdec').create() // defaults to base58
base58.encode(1000);
base58.decode('if');

// base32 encoding
var base32 = require('encdec').create('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ234567');
base32.encode(1000000);
base32.decode('6QSA');
