Project Description
A .NET encoder/decoder implementation of http://www.crockford.com/wrmg/base32.html

Only installable via NuGet: http://nuget.org/List/Packages/crockford-base32 (You all use NuGet by now, right?)

Great for building hashes into URLs.

Resilient to humans:
  • No crazy characters or keyboard gymnastics
  • Totally case insensitive
  • 0, O and o all decode to the same thing
  • 1, I, i, L and l all decode to the same thing
  • Doesn’t use U, so 519,571 encodes to FVCK instead
  • Optional check digit on the end
Handles any ulong from 0 all the way through to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615.
