b32

Implementation of RFC-3548 Base32 encoding/decoding for node using C (suppose to be faster than pure javascript).

Features

• Implemented in C
• Sync & Async methods support
• Options to add '=' paddings
• Promises chaining support (Thanks to q)

Installation

npm install b32

Test

npm test

Usage

var b32 = require("b32");
// Encode a string and use callback to pick up the result 
b32.encode('foo',function(err,result){
    console.log(result.toString());
});

// Encode a buffer and use promises
b32.encode(new Buffer('foo\x00'),{padding:true})
    .then(function(encoded_result){
        console.log(encoded_result.toString());
        return b32.decode(encoded_result);
    })
    .then(function(decoded_result){
        console.log(decoded_result);
    });

// Decode a string in synchronize mode
var decoded = b32.decodeSync('MZXW6===');

// Decode a buffer with async function
b32.decode(new Buffer('MZXW6')).
    .then(function(result){
        console.log(result);
    });

Functions

encodeSync(Buffer[,options])

options:

• padding: Boolean (default: false) add '=' padding to the end Returns: Encoded base32 string in buffer

decodeSync(Buffer)

Returns: Decoded binary buffer

encode(Buffer,[options],[callback])

options:

• same as sync function callback: a function with signature function(err,result) Returns: A promise which will resolve with the result

decode(Buffer,[callback])

callback: a function with signature function(err,result) Returns: A promise which will resolve with the result
