`codext` defines a far broader set of Base-encodings than in the original library.

`codext` also adds common binary encodings. For instance, the Manchester code, that encodes digits, is applied to the ordinals of the input text and the resulting binary stream is converted back to characters.

`codext` also provides some very common encodings, for the sake of simplicity (e.g. while chaining codecs with [the CLI tool](../cli.html)).

`codext` provides a few common compression codecs.

`codext` also implements several simple cryptographic ciphers. But how does it relate to encoding while a key is required ? `codext` focuses on ciphers that have a weak key. With dynamically named encodings, it is then possible to define a bunch of encodings, one for each value of the key. For instance, Barbie Typewriter has a key with only 4 possible values. The `barbie` codec can then be `barbie-1`, ..., `barbie-4`.

!!! note "Available masks"

`codext` provides hash functions through the `.encode(...)` API for convenience (e.g. while chaining codecs with [the CLI tool](../cli.html)).

`codext` also adds some common languages for encoding.

All kinds of other codecs are categorized in "*Others*".

`codext` defines a few steganography-related encodings. While encoding is not really steganography (that is, concealing data within data), the following codecs are worth creating this category as they relate to converting data into something that could mislead the unaware reader.
