b32

b32 provides fast, vectorized base32 encoding and decoding with zero dependencies powered by rust 🦀

[!TIP]

Need base64 instead? Check out {b64}.

Installation

You can install the development version of b32 like so:

pak::pak("extendr/b32")

Example

Encode to base32 using encode():

library(b32)

encoded <- encode(c("Hello", "from", "extendr"))
encoded
#> [1] "91JPRV3F"     "CSS6YV8"      "CNW78SBECHS0"

Decode using decode_as_string() to get back your original string:

decode_as_string(encoded)
#> [1] "Hello"   "from"    "extendr"

You can also decode to raw vectors with decode() which returns a "blob" object. The blob package is only a suggested dependency, but if you attach it, its print method will be used:

library(blob)

decode(encoded)
#> <blob[3]>
#> [1] blob[5 B] blob[4 B] blob[7 B]

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
