thinking of writing a base64 encoder/decoder library Absolutely! But I fear we might need base-whatever. Where the selection of base-radices can/shouldbe judiciously selected.
I wrote something like this back in the day As did so many others including myself. forgot
There was another comment includingbase-64 conversions in cryptographicdomains. Yes we need base-whatever conversions*and* cryptography. But these are different. I need base conversions for cryptographybut that is not the only place I convert bases.And vice-versa. I'd like to have cryptography (if it ever gets there)include a header-only base conversion.

* Do you think a library like this could be useful to the C++ community?
Yes, but.. I would like a library that handles various types of encoding/decoding with the "same" interface. Encodings that come to mind: base-64, url, html, radix-64, base-16, base-32, custom base-x alphabet table, base-36, base-62, and so on.
* If the answer to the above is yes, do you think it could belong to Boost, or would be better as a standalone library?
If it's more than base-64, yes, it could be a Boost library. -- -- René Ferdinand Rivera Morell -- Don't Assume Anything -- No Supone Nada -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
