Overview
A comprehensive Dart package providing multiple base encoding and decoding utilities, including base16 (hex), base32 (RFC, Crockford, ZBase, GeoHash, WordSafe), base58 (Bitcoin, Flickr, Ripple with Base58Check), and base85 (Ascii85, Z85, IPv6). Designed for secure data representation and interoperability across systems, it supports various standards used in cryptography, blockchain, and network protocols. The package is lightweight, platform-agnostic, and suitable for use in Flutter apps across Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux.

- Creating compact identifiers
- Representing IP addresses in readable form
Key features
- Supports multiple base encodings
- Includes Base58Check for checksum validation
- Cross-platform compatibility
- Lightweight and efficient
- Standard-compliant implementations
- Easy integration via Flutter pub
Suitable for
- Developers working with blockchain or crypto
- Apps needing compact data encoding
- Systems requiring secure string representations
- Cross-platform applications
- Tools handling binary-to-text conversion
- Network protocol implementations
Considerations
- Ensure correct codec selection for specific use case
- Verify checksums when using Base58Check
- Be mindful of case sensitivity in some encodings
- Test edge cases with invalid input
- Avoid using base58 for high-security contexts without additional safeguards
- Review performance for large data sets
