#2448 in Encoding

ebase - emoji coding (like base64
with emojis)
This project meant to be only for educational purposes, so under no circumstances should it be used for production purposes.
However, contributions are very much welcome. Perhaps we could reach a stable version.
Unlike other base64-like emoji libs on the internet, this one is not using external libs or emoji metadata.
Important
the encoding signature most probably WILL change!
Parts
The package contains a lib
and a bin
too.
The binary meant to be a drop-in "replacement" for base64
.
Using the lib
todo
Using the bin
$ echo "hello" | ebase
# => 💈💅💌💌💏
$ echo "💈💅💌💌💏" | ebase -d
# => hello
$ cat .gitignore | ebase
# => 🎏📄💁📂💇💅📄🎏🐃💁📂💇💏🎎💌💏💃💋🎏🎎💉💄💅💁
Known bugs and limitations
- There is some collision error with one character emojis
- Line endings are not handled
- Binaries are a mess
Future plans
- Investigate to split bytes differently
- Investigate to use 2-byte emojis
- Compress output
