base85rs

A library to encode and decode Base85 RFC1924 variant

Description

This is only one variant of Base85, not the most common one (ASCII-85 and Z85 are wider spread). This variant will most likely been seen in CTF challenges.

During decoding, whitespaces are ignored.

Usage

To encode data:

let data = [b'a'];
let encoded = base85rs::encode(&data);
assert_eq!(encoded, "VE");

To decode data:

let data = "VE";
let decoded = base85rs::decode(&data);
assert_eq!(decoded, Some(vec![b'a']));
