lum.encode.php
==============

[](#lumencodephp)

Summary
-------

[](#summary)

A set of libraries for encoding certain kinds of data in PHP.

Classes
-------

[](#classes)

ClassDescriptionLum\\Encode\\Base91A simple `Base91` encoder/decoder.Lum\\Encode\\HashA OO wrapper around the php hash functions.Lum\\Encode\\Safe64Store serialized data as a URL-friendly string.Lum\\Encode\\UtilMisc utility functions.#### UBJSON

[](#ubjson)

The `UBJSON` Draft-9 implementation that used to be a part of this library has been removed, but a brand new Draft-12 implementation is now included via the [lum-ubjson](https://github.com/supernovus/lum.ubjson.php) package, which is included as one of the dependencies of this library. While the new library has a new public API, it also offers enough of the old public API to be a drop-in replacement.

#### Safe64

[](#safe64)

While `Safe64` was originally just a URL-safe variant of `Base64`, the data extension added in `v3` makes it into a simple way to store simple objects as URL-safe strings using an underlying serialization format (`JSON`, `UBJSON`, or PHP's own `Serialize` format are currently supported.)

A pure [Javascript implementation](https://github.com/supernovus/lum.encode.js)that works in browsers or in a CommonJS environment is also available.
