Base32 Encode and Decode

Usage

encode(x, alphabet = "crockford", padded = TRUE)

decode(x, alphabet = "crockford", padded = TRUE)

decode_as_string(x, alphabet = "crockford", padded = TRUE)

Arguments

x: for encode(), must be either a character or raw vector. For decode(), a character vector.
alphabet: default `"crockford". The base32 encoding alphabet to use. Must be one of "crockford", "rfc4648", "rfc4648lower", "rfc4648hex", "rfc4648hexlower", or "z".
padded: default TRUE. Appends = to ensure that the final encoded chunk is 8 blocks of characters.

Details

encode() returns a blob::blob object which is a list of raw vectors. If an error is encountered in decode() the result will be an NA.

Examples

encode("hello")
#> [1] "D1JPRV3F"
encode("hello", padded = FALSE)
#> [1] "D1JPRV3F"
encode("hello", alphabet = "rfc4648")
#> [1] "NBSWY3DP"

# Decode base32 string
decode("NBSWY3DPEBLW64TMMQ======")
#> <blob[1]>
#> [1] blob[0 B]
decode_as_string("NBSWY3DPEBLW64TMMQ======")
#> [1] ""
decode("NBSWY3DPEBLW64TMMQ", padded = FALSE)
#> <blob[1]>
#> [1] blob[11 B]
