Common

codext also provides some very common encodings, for the sake of simplicity (e.g. while chaining codecs with the CLI tool).

A1Z26

This simple codec converts letters to their order number in the alphabet using a separator between characters and keeping words separated by a whitespace. It is similar to the consonant-vowel-indices encoding.

Codec	Conversions	Aliases	Comment
a1z26	text <-> alphabet order numbers	a1z26, a1z26-/, a1z26-,, ...	this codec does not preserve the case and is dynamic (separator of characters in each word can be customized among these: "-_/|,;:*")

>>> codext.encode("This is a test", "a1z26")
'20-8-9-19 9-19 1 20-5-19-20'
>>> codext.decode("20-8-9-19 9-19 1 20-5-19-20", "a1z26")
'this is a test'

Octal

This simple codec converts characters into their octal values.

Codec	Conversions	Aliases	Comment
octal	text <-> octal digits	octals	groups of 3-chars octal values when encoded
octal-spaced	text <-> spaced octal digits	octals-spaced	whitespace-separated suite of variable-length groups of octal digits when encoded

>>> codext.encode("this is a test", "octal")
'164150151163040151163040141040164145163164'
>>> codext.decode("164150151163040151163040141040164145163164", "octals")
'this is a test'

>>> codext.encode("this is a test", "octal-spaced")
'164 150 151 163 40 151 163 40 141 40 164 145 163 164'
>>> codext.decode("164 150 151 163 40 151 163 40 141 40 164 145 163 164", "octals-spaced")
'this is a test'

Ordinal

This simple codec converts characters into their ordinals.

Codec	Conversions	Aliases	Comment
ordinal	text <-> ordinal digits	ordinals	groups of 3-chars ordinal values when encoded
ordinal-spaced	text <-> spaced ordinal digits	ordinals-spaced	whitespace-separated suite of variable-length groups of ordinal digits when encoded

>>> codext.encode("this is a test", "ordinal")
'116104105115032105115032097032116101115116'
>>> codext.decode("116104105115032105115032097032116101115116", "ordinals")
'this is a test'

>>> codext.encode("this is a test", "ordinal-spaced")
'116 104 105 115 32 105 115 32 97 32 116 101 115 116'
>>> codext.decode("116 104 105 115 32 105 115 32 97 32 116 101 115 116", "ordinals-spaced")
'this is a test'
