And there are no straight way to change its alphabet. BaseN solves that problem and implements common binary-to-text algorithm for encodings whose alphabet fully covers number of bits that corresponds its length. And rough algorithm which will encode each byte separately, it is less compact but guarantee the encoding with given alphabet. Furthermore it gives you methods to encode and decode integers themselves instead of their text representation. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - [PHP](//php.net/) 7.1+ Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install with composer ``` composer require xobotyi/basen ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` use xobotyi\basen\BaseN; use xobotyi\basen\Base58; // use it for something usual $base8 = new BaseN('01234567', false, false, false); echo $base8->encode(16) . "\n"; // 142330 echo $base8->encodeInt(16) . "\n"; // 20 // or create your own encoder with own alphabet if needed $myOwnEncoder = new BaseN('a123d8e4fiwnmqkl', false, true, true); echo $myOwnEncoder->encode(16) . "\n"; // 313e echo $myOwnEncoder->encodeInt(16) . "\n"; // 1a // predefined encoder echo Base58::encode(16) . "\n"; // 3hC // or, with alternative alphabet echo Base58::encode(16, Base58::ALPHABET_RIPPLE) . "\n"; // hkD echo Base58::encodeInt(16) . "\n"; // G ``` Builtin encodings ----------------- [](#builtin-encodings) BaseN provides few classes implementing most popular encodings: - [Base16](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base16) (0-9a-f) - [Base32](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base32) (a-z2-7) - [Base36](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base36) (0-9a-z) - [Base58](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base58) (0-9A-Za-v) - Base62 (0-9A-Za-z) - [Base64](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64) (0-9A-Za-z+/) - [Base85](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base85) (!"#$%&'()\*+,-./0-9:;<=>?@A-Z\[\]^\_`a-u) ### Health Score 34 — LowBetter than 77% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity34 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity57 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 91.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
