bmlet

Encoding and decoding for bookmarklets.

Home | MIT License | v1.0.0

Bookmarklets don't need to be a mess. The key is insulating yourself from what the browser stores with an encode/decode step. That's what bmlet provides. bmlet encode transforms a normal JS file into a bookmarklet, bmlet decode recovers the original file. Your code doesn't need to deal with bookmarklet quirks like URI-encoding or the implicit document.write, and also gets its own namespace, strict mode, and automatic uncaught error display.
