## README

Base58 in a `window`
===================

Get [`Base58.js`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/45678/base58/master/Base58.js)
and add it to your web page with a script tag:

    <script src="Base58.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

`window.Base58` is defined when the script is executed. There are two methods:

    Base58.encode(a Uint8Array) returns a String
    Base58.decode(a String) returns a Uint8Array


Base58 in Node.js
=================

Run `npm install base-58` to add the module to your package. Require it in
your program with `Base58 = require("base-58")`. Again, there are two methods:

    Base58.encode(a Buffer or Uint8Array) returns a String
    Base58.decode(a String) returns a Buffer
