In the browser the object is available globally as window.Bencode.

Bencode#encode(object)

object is either a String, Number, Array, or Object.

Bencode.encode("string")         // => "6:string"
Bencode.encode(123)              // => "i123e"
Bencode.encode(["str", 123])     // => "l3:stri123ee"
Bencode.encode({ key: "value" }) // => "d3:key5:valuee"

Bencode#decode(string)

string is a Bencoded string.

Bencode.decode("d3:key5:valuee") // => { key: "value" }
