Encode Extension

What is it?

This NetLogo extension is for converting between lists of bytes and strings of different encodings. This is particularly useful for, say, taking binary data and turning it into a base64 string that can be easily passed around, or reading base64 data, converting it to a list of bytes, and directly manipulating those bytes.

Primitives

Prim Name	Arguments	Behavior
base64-to-bytes	base64String	Decode base64String from base64 encoding to a list of bytes.
bytes-to-base64	byteList	Convert byteList into a base64-encoded string. Throws an error if byteList contains any values that are not numbers between 0 and 255.
bytes-to-string	byteList	Convert byteList into a UTF-8-encoded string. Throws an error if byteList contains any values that are not numbers between 0 and 255.
string-to-bytes	string	Decode string to a list of UTF-8-encoded bytes.

Usage

Encoding a string as base64

(encode:bytes-to-base64 (encode:string-to-bytes my-string))

Decoding base64 into a string

(encode:bytes-to-string (encode:base64-to-bytes my-base64))

Building

Open it in SBT. If you successfully run package, encode.jar is created.
