Overview

The utility is built around the concept of a Codec which can encode and decode data. It has a record of codecs mapped to different encodings. This utility conveniently provides codecs for multiple encoding types and even includes a JSON codec.

Features

• Buffer Encoding Types: The primary encodings supported are hex, utf8, ascii, binary, base64, ucs2, and utf16le.

• Additional Encodings: Added support for json, utf-8, and ucs-2 encodings.

• Extensible: While a set of common encodings are pre-defined, the architecture allows you to seamlessly integrate more if needed.

Installation

(Please include any installation steps if this utility is to be packaged and distributed.)

Usage

Here's a basic usage example:

import codec from './dist/codec.js';

const data = 'Hello, World!';
const encoded = codecs.utf8.encode(data);
const decoded = codecs.utf8.decode(encoded);
console.log(decoded);  // Outputs: Hello, Brad!

Testing

The utility comes with a test suite to ensure that encoding and decoding work correctly. If you're extending the utility or just wish to run tests:

jest codec.test.ts
