Welcome!

Please see the article on proquints: http://arXiv.org/html/0901.4016; A local copy is in proquint-proposal.txt and this can be converted to proquint-proposal.gen.html by typing "make".

For the C and Java implementations: run "make clean all check" to build and check. After that you can run "make demo" for a simple demo and "make examples" for more examples.

Local implementations by Daniel S. Wilkerson:

• C implementation: proquint.c converts between proquint, hex, and decimal strings.

• Java implementation: Proquint.java converts between proquint, hex, and decimal strings.

Local implementations by others:

• Python implementation by Ruslan Shestopalyuk: converts between proquint, hex, decimal and IPv4 address strings. Installs a script 'proquint', which can be used to convert between above representations via command line (see python/README.md)

• Javascript implementation by Luděk Rašek: The code is in js/proquint.js. Try it in js/proquint.html for values of arbitrary length. Demo is accessible as github page: http://l-ra.github.io/proquint/js/proquint.html

Remote implementations by others:

• Elixir implementation by Khaja Minhajuddin: Converts binaries to proquint encoded strings, Decodes proquint encode strings to binaries. Implementation can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/proquint/Proquint.html

• Elm implimentation:

  • Install with elm install michaelglass/proquint.
  • Docs are here: https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/michaelglass/proquint/latest/Proquint.
