# cashaddress

# Installation

# Usage examples

## Converting address
**It does not matter if you use legacy or new address as input.**
Then you can convert your address via:
```python
address = convert.to_cash_address('155fzsEBHy9Ri2bMQ8uuuR3tv1YzcDywd4')
```

```python
address = convert.to_legacy_address('bitcoincash:qqkv9wr69ry2p9l53lxp635va4h86wv435995w8p2h')
```
## Validating address
You can also validate address via:
```python
convert.is_valid('155fzsEBHy9Ri2bMQ8uuuR3tv1YzcDywd4')
```
or
```python
convert.is_valid('bitcoincash:qqkv9wr69ry2p9l53lxp635va4h86wv435995w8p2h')
```
