Proquints are readable, pronouncable representations of identifiers. This is a Rust library for converting between them.

Ex. the ip address 127.0.0.1 is lusab-babad in proquint form.

Usage

extern crate proquint;

use proquint::Quintable;
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

let home = Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1);
assert_eq!(home.to_quint(), "lusab-babad");

assert_eq!(u32::from_quint("rotab-vinat").unwrap(), 3141592653u32);

Library for converting to and from proquints.

Proquint

A proquint is a pronouncable representation of an identifier, such as an IP address, document number, user id, etc. The purpose is to provide a more convenient way for humans to interact/remember/communicate with unique identifiers.

Example

use proquint::Quintable;
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

let home = Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1);
assert_eq!(home.to_quint(), "lusab-babad");
