BaseNC

Pronounced "Base-En-See".

Encoding and decoding hex, base64 and base32 with support for #[no_std].

Examples

Encoding:

let encoded = basenc::Base64Std.encode(b"hello world", basenc::Padding::Optional);
assert_eq!(encoded, "aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ");

Decoding:

let decoded = basenc::Base64Std.decode("aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=", basenc::Padding::Optional).unwrap();
assert_eq!(decoded, b"hello world");

Features

• std (default) - Enable support for the standard library. This enables convenience features to encode and decode to String and Vec<u8> buffers.

• simd-off - Disable SIMD acceleration. The SIMD codepaths are less tested and are more likely to contain bugs.

• simd-runtime - Enable runtime detection of SIMD support. This is enabled by default and will automatically use SIMD acceleration if available.

Build with RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" (bash) / set RUSTFLAGS=-C target-cpu=native (cmd) to enable compiletime detection of SIMD capabilities.

Future work

Profile and optimize for performance.

Implement SIMD accelerated algorithms for encoding and decoding.
