Syntax

public static class Base58

Remarks

A codec for Base-58, Encode(Byte[]) and Decode(String). Adds the extension method ToBase58(Byte[]) to encode a byte array and FromBase58(String) to decode a Base-58 string.

This is just thin wrapper of https://github.com/ssg/SimpleBase.

This codec uses the BitCoin alphabet not Flickr's.

Methods

Decode(String)

Converts the specified String, which encodes binary data as base 58 digits, to an equivalent 8-bit unsigned integer array.

Declaration

public static byte[] Decode(string s)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	s	The base 58 string to convert.

Returns

Type	Description
Byte[]	An array of 8-bit unsigned integers that is equivalent to s.

Encode(Byte[])

Converts an array of 8-bit unsigned integers to its equivalent string representation that is encoded with base-58 characters.

Declaration

public static string Encode(byte[] bytes)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Byte[]	bytes	An array of 8-bit unsigned integers.

Returns

Type	Description
String	The string representation, in base 58, of the contents of bytes.

FromBase58(String)

Converts the specified String, which encodes binary data as base 58 digits, to an equivalent 8-bit unsigned integer array.

Declaration

public static byte[] FromBase58(this string s)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	s	The base 58 string to convert.

Returns

Type	Description
Byte[]	An array of 8-bit unsigned integers that is equivalent to s.

ToBase58(Byte[])

Converts an array of 8-bit unsigned integers to its equivalent string representation that is encoded with base-58 digits.

Declaration

public static string ToBase58(this byte[] bytes)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Byte[]	bytes	An array of 8-bit unsigned integers.

Returns

Type	Description
String	The string representation, in base 58, of the contents of bytes.
