NicerXVI

Base16 string encoding and decoding intended for use with short user-visible identifiers.

Purpose

Convert byte sequences to and from human readable strings of text made up of a limited set of unambiguous letters. The sixteen letters used are:

x c d f g k m p q r s t v w b z

Vowels are omitted to prevent strings from unintentionally containing words.

Example usage

byte[] inputByteValue = "TEST1234".getBytes();

String nicerXVIString = NicerXVI.encode(inputByteValue);

// nicerXVIString = "kggkkfkgfcfdfffg";

byte[] outputByteValue = NicerXVI.decode(nicerXVIString);

// Arrays.equals(inputByteValue, outputByteValue) == true
