base53-encoder

Overview

base53-encoder is a unique Base53 encoding scheme that provides a flexible and innovative approach to string encoding and key generation. Inspired by traditional base encoding methods, this library offers a custom 30-bit block encoding strategy with 5-bit segments.

Features

• 🔢 Custom 32-character encoding table
• 🧩 5-bit segment encoding
• 🔒 Flexible key generation
• 🔄 Robust encode and decode methods
• 🚀 Lightweight and easy to use
• 🌐 ESM module support

Installation

Install the package using npm:

npm install base53-encoder

Usage

Basic Encoding and Decoding

import Base53 from 'base53-encoder';

// Encode a string
const encoded = Base53.encode('Hello, World!');
console.log(encoded);

// Decode a string
const decoded = Base53.decode(encoded);
console.log(decoded); // 'Hello, World!'

Key Generation

// Generate a 150-bit key
const key = Base53.buildKey();

console.log(key.rawKey);      // Original random key
console.log(key.encodedKey);  // Encoded key
console.log(key.decodedKey);  // Decoded key

Customizing Key Generation

// Custom key generation
const customKey = Base53.buildKey(
  3,    // Number of segments 
  24    // Length of each segment
);

Encoding Strategy

Technical Details

• Encoding Table: 32 unique characters
• Segment Size: 5 bits
• Block Size: 30 bits (6 segments)
• Padding: Automatic padding to ensure full block encoding

Unique Characteristics

• Mimics Base64 encoding
• Custom 5-bit segment approach
• Flexible key generation
• Built-in error handling

Error Handling

The library throws an error for invalid encoded strings:

try {
  Base53.decode('Invalid&Characters');
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Encoding error:', error.message);
}

Performance

base53-encoder is designed to be lightweight and efficient, with minimal overhead for encoding and decoding operations.

Compatibility

• Node.js v14.16+
• ESM module support
