Codecs
Basic data encoding and decoding protocols.
Currently implemented protocols: Base64, Zlib, Binary Coded Decimal.
Synopsis
using Codecs
data = "Hello World!"
encoded = encode(Base64, encode(Zlib, data))
println(bytestring(encoded))Output:
eNrzSM3JyVcIzy/KSVEEABxJBD4=
(Wow, that's inefficient.)
decoded = decode(Zlib, decode(Base64, encoded))
println(bytestring(decoded))Output:
Hello World!
BCD is for encoding integers:
i = 2013
encoded = encode(BCD, i)
println(encoded)
encoded = encode(BCD, i, true) # big endian digit order
println(encoded)Output:
[0x31,0x02]
[0x20,0x13]
