# Elixir Binary

Small library for handling binaries in Elixir. It's a wrapper around erlang :binary, plus a few String-alike functions.

When using it instead of erlang's :binary you get more sexy code and typespecs, plus you get some functions that String offers

like `reverse/1`, `trim_trailing/2` etc. You should not use String for binaries becaues it operates on codepoints, not bytes.

Full list of functions can be found on [hexdocs](https://hexdocs.pm/binary/Binary.html)

In edge cases, the behavior is modeled after `Elixir.String`. API will be frozen with version 0.1.0. I'm hoping to collect some

feedback first, but I don't plan any breaking API changes.

## Usage

Add dependency in your mix.exs:

```elixir

def deps do

  [{:binary, "~> 0.0.5"}]

end

```

Enjoy:

```elixir

iex< import Binary

iex> [1, 2] |> from_list |> pad_trailing(4) |> reverse |> split_at(-1)

{<<0, 0, 2>>,  <<1>>}

```
