PlantUML Encoder

A Rust library for encoding PlantUML diagram code, generating compressed strings for use in PlantUML image URLs.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
plantuml_encoder = "0.0.3"

Usage

use rusty_plantuml_encoder::encodep;

fn main() {
    let diagram = "@startuml
Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
@enduml";

    let encoded = encodep(diagram);
    println!("Encoded URL: http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/img/{}", encoded);
}

Features

• UTF-8 encoding
• DEFLATE compression
• Custom 64-character encoding for URL-safe strings

Note

This encoder is specifically designed for PlantUML diagrams and may not be suitable for general-purpose encoding or encryption.
