Proquint

Inherits from: Object

Pronounceable identifiers for integers and binary data.

Proquints encode integers as alternating consonant-vowel sequences that are easy to read, pronounce, and remember. A 32-bit value becomes two hyphenated quintuplets (e.g., 'lusab-babad'), and a 64-bit value becomes four quintuplets. Useful for node IDs, content hashes, IP addresses, and any context where human-readable identifiers improve usability.

See https://arxiv.org/html/0901.4016 for the specification.

All methods are class-side — Proquint is a utility class with no instances.

Class methods: Proquint encode: anInteger — 32-bit integer to proquint string Proquint encode64: anInteger — 64-bit integer to proquint string Proquint decode: aString — proquint string to 32-bit integer Proquint decode64: aString — proquint string to 64-bit integer Proquint random — random 32-bit proquint Proquint random64 — random 64-bit proquint Proquint encodeHex: aHexString — hex string to proquint Proquint encodeHex64: aHexString — 64-bit hex string to proquint

Test

(Proquint encode: 0) >>> 'babab-babab'
(Proquint decode: 'babab-babab') >>> 0
(Proquint decode: (Proquint encode: 12345)) >>> 12345
(Proquint random) size > 0 >>> true
