Build Status

Rust implementation of useful binascii functions.

  • Encode & Decode support for:
    • Base16 (Hex)
    • Base32
    • Base64
  • no_std support
  • never panics

Getting Started

  • Add binascii to your package's Cargo.toml: 
    [dependencies]
binascii = "0.1"
  • Encoders and decoders are enabled by default. To enable only decoders, use the "decode" feature. To enable only encoders, use the "encode" feature: 
    # Enable encoders only.
[dependencies]
binascii = { version = "0.1", default-features = false, features = ["encode"] }

# Enable decoders only.
[dependencies]
binascii = { version = "0.1", default-features = false, features = ["decode"] }
  • The API is very simple, head over to https://docs.rs/binascii/.

Why binascii?

  • This library was written with security in mind, and includes unit tests to prevent vulnerabilities found in many other implementations (many can be found here).
  • There are no "unsafe" blocks, such blocks are forbidden.
  • no-std is supported for your bare-metal & embedded projects.
