About

Data decoding, encoding, conversion, and translation utilities.

A codec is a device or computer program that encodes or decodes a data stream or signal. Codec is a portmanteau of coder/decoder.

A coder or encoder encodes a data stream or a signal for transmission or storage, [...], and the decoder function reverses the encoding for playback or editing.

-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec

Details

Installation

The package is available from PyPI at commons-codec. To install the most recent version, run:

pip install --upgrade commons-codec

Project Information

Acknowledgements

Kudos to the authors of all the many software components this library is vendoring and building upon.

Prior Art

  • core-cdc by Alejandro Cora González. Cheers!

Contributing

The commons-codec package is an open source project, and is managed on GitHub. The project is still in its infancy, and we appreciate contributions of any kind.

Etymology

The Apache Commons Codec library was the inspiration for the name. Otherwise, both libraries' ingredients don't have anything in common, yet.

License

The project uses the LGPLv3 license for the whole ensemble. However, individual portions of the code base are vendored from other Python packages, where deviating licenses may apply. Please check for detailed license information within the header sections of relevant files.
