Package description
The 'multibase' npm package provides a way to encode and decode data using various base encoding schemes. It supports a wide range of base encodings, making it useful for applications that need to handle data in different formats.
Encoding Data
This feature allows you to encode data using a specified base encoding. In this example, the data 'hello world' is encoded using base32.
const multibase = require('multibase');
const data = Buffer.from('hello world');
const encoded = multibase.encode('base32', data);
console.log(encoded.toString());Decoding Data
This feature allows you to decode data that has been encoded with a base encoding. In this example, the base32 encoded string 'bnbswy3dpeb3w64tmmq' is decoded back to 'hello world'.
const multibase = require('multibase');
const encoded = 'bnbswy3dpeb3w64tmmq';
const decoded = multibase.decode(encoded);
console.log(decoded.toString());Listing Supported Encodings
This feature provides a list of all supported base encodings. It can be useful to know which encodings are available for use.
const multibase = require('multibase');
const encodings = multibase.names;
console.log(encodings);The 'base-x' package provides a way to encode and decode data using custom base encodings. It is similar to 'multibase' but focuses on custom base encodings rather than a predefined set of encodings.
The 'base64-js' package is specifically designed for base64 encoding and decoding. It is more specialized compared to 'multibase', which supports a wider range of encodings.
The 'bs58' package provides base58 encoding and decoding. It is similar to 'multibase' in that it handles base encodings, but it is specialized for base58.
