Description
base91.js is a base91 implementation in javascript that allows encoding/decoding of data to/from an ASCII representation that is more compact than base64.
More information about the base91 algorithm itself can be found here.
Requirements
- node.js -- v0.8.0 or newer, or any browser
Installation
npm install base91
Example
var base91 = ; console;console; // outputs:// lref5gTT$FQ;C90ohA// node.js rules!
API
Functions
-
encode(< mixed >data) - string - Encodes
data
and returns the resulting base91 representation.data
can be a string or an Array-like object (e.g. Buffer in node.js, Uint8Array or Array in browsers). -
decode(< string >encodedData) - mixed - Decodes
encodedData
and returns the result. For node.js, it will return a Buffer, otherwise it will return a Uint8Array if available, or a plain Array as a final fallback.
