# Codecs

Basic data encoding and decoding protocols.

Currently implemented protocols: Base64, Zlib, Binary Coded Decimal.

## Synopsis

```julia

using Codecs

data = "Hello World!"

encoded = encode(Base64, encode(Zlib, data))

println(bytestring(encoded))

```

Output:

```

eNrzSM3JyVcIzy/KSVEEABxJBD4=

```

(Wow, that's inefficient.)

```julia

decoded = decode(Zlib, decode(Base64, encoded))

println(bytestring(decoded))

```

Output:

```

Hello World!

```

BCD is for encoding integers:

```julia

i = 2013

encoded = encode(BCD, i)

println(encoded)

encoded = encode(BCD, i, true)  # big endian digit order

println(encoded)

```

Output:

```

[0x31,0x02]

[0x20,0x13]

```
