conv64
Easily (& blazingly fast) convert base 10 numbers to base 64.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is base 64 as in the number base, if you're searching for base64 encryption, use this
Quickstart
# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
conv64 = "*"
// main.rs
fn main() {
let x = conv64::encode(1234567890);
println!("{}", x); // 19bWBI
// With the `rand` feature enabled:
let y = conv64::generate(1..2000);
println!("{}", y); // A random number between 1 and 2000, encoded in base 64
// Get the maximum value a base 64 number can have with a given number of letters
assert_eq!(conv64::max_value_for_letters(1), Some(63));
}
Uses
The main application for this is using it as an ID generator/shortener (for example, YouTube video IDs are base 64 encoded numbers).
Since its main use is for the web, the 2 extra characters (+
and /
) are replaced with -
and _
respectively, so it can be used in URLs without encoding.
