BaseEx Command Line Interface

This is a CLI for BaseEx. BaseEx is designed as a library for base conversions for node.js or the browser. There are already a lot of individual CLIs available for, lets say Base32, Base64, etc.
Those clients are very good and also fast, while this one is certainly not fast. But it has all the important base converters available, the converter is only one argument away and not whole program to search for, installing it, and getting used to it. So, if speed is not an issue, this might be interesting for you. On top of that, it contains different encoding standards and some more exotic converters (see the list below).

:warning: This program still has to stand the test of time. Be extra attentive when using this in production.

Install

npm install --global base-ex-cli

AUR

base-ex-cli can be installed from the Arch User Repository: base-ex-cli

Usage

The executable is reachable by calling bex. Pick a converter of your choice from above and enjoy your data in your favorite way!

Examples:

// encoding from stdin
cat plain.txt | bex base64
printf "Hello World!" | bex ecoji_v2

// encoding from file
bex base32_rfc3548 plain.txt

// decoding from stdin
cat encoded.txt | bex base91 -d
echo 3432210a | bex base16 -d

// decoding from file
bex base16 encoded.txt -d
