> { x: [true, 1, '1', null] }

As a library (node or browser)

import { encode, decode } from '@abcnews/base-36-props';

encode({ x: [true, 1, '1', null] });
// > 3zo7wx3dtlini74hp4rl9mo1n8ns65v1mkcd

decode('3zo7wx3dtlini74hp4rl9mo1n8ns65v1mkcd');
// > { x: [ true, 1, '1', null ] }

A browser usage example is included with this project. To try it:

git clone https://github.com/abcnews/base-36-props
cd base-36-props
npm run example

...then open the console in the browser window that opens, and try out b36p.encode() and b36p.decode().
