VBScript Encoder

VBScript Encoder encodes plain text into a variety of formats.
  • Ascii to binary — Binary representation may use 1's and 0's or alternate characters. A special 1 to 2 bit encoding was devised for using spaces as a low bit for display in HTML. (HTML shows consecutive spaces as a single space, thus rendering an encoded stream useless.)

    The following mapping is used:
    	1 => 11 => ..
	0 => 10 => .
    Thus, I had a resulting datastream with never two consecutive spaces at the expense of doubling the bandwidth.
  • Morse — A simple morse code encoder/decoder. Morse code is a lossy translation. You lose character case and spaces. It is, however, an efficient representation of information.
  • Static Huffman Encoder / Decoder — Using the Ascii to binary conversion described above produces a sizable bit stream, especially with the 1 to 2 bit conversion. I created a Static Huffman Encoder / Decoder that is 20 to 50% more efficient depending upon the text presented. The Static Huffman Encoder/Decoder is written entirely in VBScript running as Active Server Pages on IIS.

  • Cipher — Does a letter for letter matching for a result similar to puzzles provided in newspapers.
