How do I install this library?

Install crockford-base32-core via nuget:

Install-Package crockford-base32-core -Version 2.0.0

What is it?

A repackaging of the original crockford-base32 nuget package to support netstandard2.0 and netstandard2.1.

Why does it exist?

The original crockford-base32 nuget package does not support .NET Core or .NET Standard.

What changes did you make?

• Targeted netstandard2.0 and netstandard2.1
• Migrated the unit tests to use xUnit

How do I build it?

Visual Studio 2019

Open CrockfordBase32.sln and compile.

FAKE

• Ensure you have .NET Core SDK 3.1.300 or higher installed

• Ensure you have FAKE installed:

  dotnet tool install fake-cli -g
  

• From the root directory on the command line, run fake build

The original README follows:

A .NET encoder/decoder implementation of http://www.crockford.com/wrmg/base32.html

Only installable via NuGet: http://nuget.org/List/Packages/crockford-base32 (You all use NuGet by now, right?)

Great for building hashes into URLs.

Resilient to humans:

• No crazy characters or keyboard gymnastics
• Totally case insensitive
• 0, O and o all decode to the same thing
• 1, I, i, L and l all decode to the same thing
• Doesn’t use U, so 519,571 encodes to FVCK instead
• Optional check digit on the end

Handles any ulong from 0 all the way through to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615.
