alphabet-encoder

Currently work in progress, this crate will provide an easy way to encode and decode strings and charachters into "alphabet encoding".

Alphabet encoding is a simple encoding scheme created by a professor of mine - Kieth Hellman and was used during a compilers course. The description is simple and very easy to understand:

Characters NOT in the sets 0-9, A-Z, a-w, or y-z (notice the missing x) are always written in a hexadecimal escape sequence: xHH where H is an upper or lower case hexadecimal value. Other characters may be written in escaped form (xHH) or as their visual glyph (for instance A for ASCII decimal code 65).

This code is currently only tested with ASCII characters, but non-ascii characters should work as well.

TODOs

• Be able to decode arbitrary strings
• Test with non-ascii charachters
• Create documentations and examples on README/crates.io
