Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

png2embeddedjson

Convert PNG images to embedded JSON with Base64-encoded RGB565 data.

Description

png2embeddedjson is a command-line tool and a Node.js module that converts PNG images into a JSON format containing Base64-encoded RGB565 data. This is useful for embedding images directly into applications or systems that utilize JSON for configuration or data representation, such as embedded systems or microcontrollers. For example, it can be used for displaying images on a GC9A01 display on an RP2040 microcontroller powered by the Kaluma runtime.

The output JSON contains:

  • width: The width of the image in pixels.
  • height: The height of the image in pixels.
  • bpp: Bits per pixel used (default is 16).
  • data: Base64-encoded string of the RGB565 image data.

Installation

Install the package globally using npm:

npm install -g png2embeddedjson

Usage

CLI

png2embeddedjson <input.png> [output.json]
  • <input.png>: Path to the input PNG image.
  • [output.json]: (Optional) Path to save the output JSON file. If not provided, the JSON will be printed to the console.

Examples:

Convert an image and save the output to a file:

png2embeddedjson example.png output.json

Convert an image and display the JSON in the console:

png2embeddedjson example.png

# Output
# {
#   "width": 100,
#   "height": 100,
#   "bpp": 16,
#   "data": "...AAECAwQFBgcICQoLDA0ODw=="
# }

API

Use the package programmatically in Node.js applications:

const { convert } = require('png2embeddedjson');

convert('pathToInput.png').then((json) => {
    console.log(json);
    // { width: 100, height: 100, bpp: 16, data: '...AAECAwQFBgcICQoLDA0ODw==' }
});

Dependencies

  • sharp: High-performance Node.js image processing library.
