Data.ByteString.Lazy.Base16

Description

This module contains ByteString-valued combinators for implementing the RFC 4648 specification of the Base16 encoding format. This includes lenient decoding variants, as well as internal and external validation for canonicity.

Synopsis

Documentation

encodeBase16 :: ByteString -> Text Source #

Encode a lazy ByteString value as Base16 Text with padding.

See: RFC-4648 section 8

Examples:

>>> encodeBase16 "Sun"
"53756e"

encodeBase16' :: ByteString -> ByteString Source #

Encode a lazy ByteString value as a Base16 ByteString value with padding.

See: RFC-4648 section 8

Examples:

>>> encodeBase16' "Sun"
"53756e"

decodeBase16 :: ByteString -> Either Text ByteString Source #

Decode a padded Base16-encoded lazy ByteString value.

See: RFC-4648 section 8

Examples:

>>> decodeBase16 "53756e"
Right "Sun"
>>> decodeBase16 "6x"
Left "invalid character at offset: 1"

decodeBase16Lenient :: ByteString -> ByteString Source #

Decode a Base16-encoded ByteString value leniently, using a strategy that never fails

N.B.: this is not RFC 4648-compliant. It may give you garbage if you're not careful!

Examples:

>>> decodeBase16Lenient "53756e"
"Sun"
>>> decodeBase16Lenient "6x6x"
"f"

isBase16 :: ByteString -> Bool Source #

Tell whether a lazy ByteString value is base16 encoded.

Examples:

>>> isBase16 "666f6"
False
>>> isBase16 "666f"
True

isValidBase16 :: ByteString -> Bool Source #

Tell whether a lazy ByteString value is a valid Base16 format.

This will not tell you whether or not this is a correct Base16 representation, only that it conforms to the correct alphabet. To check whether it is a true Base16 encoded ByteString value, use isBase16.

Examples:

>>> isValidBase16 "666f+/6"
False
>>> isValidBase16 "666f6"
True
