# 🔩 Quick Base58 _(qbase58)_
A quick base58 encoder/decoder implementation written in C, with Python bindings.
## Install
```
pip install qbase58
```
## Usage
```python
import qbase58
string = b"Hello, World!"
encoded = qbase58.encode(string)
print(f"Encoded: {encoded}")
decoded = qbase58.decode(encoded)
print(f"Decoded: {decoded}")
```
## Benchmark
Comparing with the two other Python base58 libraries:
* [base58](https://pypi.org/project/base58/)
* [based58](https://pypi.org/project/based58/)
```bash
--- Data Set: SMALL (size=100 bytes) ---
