codext also defines multiple dummy string manipulation codecs, essentially for use with the CLI tool and for the sake of simplicity.

Dummy string operations¶

These "encodings" are simple string transformations, mostly using str's methods.

Codec	Conversions	Aliases	Comment
capitalize	text <-> capitalized text		decoding "uncapitalizes" the text
lowercase	text <-> lowercase text	lower	decoding is uppercase
reverse	text <-> reversed text
reverse-words	text <-> reversed words		same as reverse but not on the whole text, only on the words (text split by whitespace)
swapcase	text <-> case-swapped text	swap
title	text <-> titled text		decoding "untitles" the text
uppercase	text <-> uppercase text	upper	decoding is lowercase

Of course, these "encodings" have no interest while using them in Python as the str methods can be called. It can be useful while using codext from the terminal (see CLI tool).

A simple example:

$ echo -en "test string" | codext reverse | codext upper | codext hex
474E495254532054534554

Or using encodings chaining:

$ echo -en "test string" | codext reverse upper hex
474E495254532054534554
