/**
 * This package contains codecs for strings of different sizes and encodings.
 * It can be used standalone, but it is also exported as part of Kit
 * [`@solana/kit`](https://github.com/anza-xyz/kit/tree/main/packages/kit).
 *
 * This package is also part of the [`@solana/codecs` package](https://github.com/anza-xyz/kit/tree/main/packages/codecs)
 * which acts as an entry point for all codec packages as well as for their documentation.
 *
 * ## Sizing string codecs
 *
 * The `@solana/codecs-strings` package offers a variety of string codecs such as `utf8`, `base58`, `base64`, etc —
 * which we will discuss in more detail below. However, before digging into the available string codecs,
 * it's important to understand the different sizing strategies available for string codecs.
 *
 * By default, all available string codecs will return a `VariableSizeCodec<string>` meaning that:
 *
 * - When encoding a string, all bytes necessary to encode the string will be used.
 * - When decoding a byte array at a given offset, all bytes starting from that offset will be decoded as a string.
 *
 * For instance, here's how you can encode/decode `utf8` strings without any size boundary:
 *
 * ```ts
 * const codec = getUtf8Codec();
 *
 * codec.encode('hello');
 * // 0x68656c6c6f
 * //   └-- Any bytes necessary to encode our content.
 *
 * codec.decode(new Uint8Array([0x68, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f]));
 * // 'hello'
 * ```
 *
 * This might be what you want — e.g. when having a string at the end of a data structure — but in many cases,
 * you might want to have a size boundary for your string. You may achieve this by composing your string codec
 * with the [`fixCodecSize`](https://github.com/anza-xyz/kit/tree/main/packages/codecs-core#fixing-the-size-of-codecs)
 * or [`addCodecSizePrefix`](https://github.com/anza-xyz/kit/tree/main/packages/codecs-core#prefixing-the-size-of-codecs) functions.
 *
 * The `fixCodecSize` function accepts a fixed byte length and returns a `FixedSizeCodec<string>` that will always use
 * that amount of bytes to encode and decode a string. Any string longer or smaller than that size will be truncated
 * or padded respectively. Here's how you can use it with a `utf8` codec:
 *
 * ```ts
 * const codec = fixCodecSize(getUtf8Codec(), 5);
 *
 * codec.encode('hello');
 * // 0x68656c6c6f
 * //   └-- The exact 5 bytes of content.
 *
 * codec.encode('hello world');
 * // 0x68656c6c6f
 * //   └-- The truncated 5 bytes of content.
 *
 * codec.encode('hell');
 * // 0x68656c6c00
 * //   └-- The padded 5 bytes of content.
 *
 * codec.decode(new Uint8Array([0x68, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff]));
 * // 'hello'
 * ```
 *
 * The `addCodecSizePrefix` function accepts an additional number codec that will be used to encode and
 * decode a size prefix for the string. This prefix allows us to know when to stop reading the string when
 * decoding a given byte array. Here's how you can use it with a `utf8` codec:
 *
 * ```ts
 * const codec = addCodecSizePrefix(getUtf8Codec(), getU32Codec());
 *
 * codec.encode('hello');
 * // 0x0500000068656c6c6f
 * //   |       └-- The 5 bytes of content.
 * //   └-- 4-byte prefix telling us to read 5 bytes.
 *
 * codec.decode(new Uint8Array([0x05, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x68, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff]));
 * // "hello"
 * ```
 *
 * Now, let's take a look at the available string encodings. Just remember that you can use
 * the `fixSizeCodec` or `prefixSizeCodec` functions on any of these encodings to add a size boundary to them.
 *
 * ## Utf8 codec
 *
 * The `getUtf8Codec` function encodes and decodes a UTF-8 string to and from a byte array.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const bytes = getUtf8Codec().encode('hello'); // 0x68656c6c6f
 * const value = getUtf8Codec().decode(bytes); // "hello"
 * ```
 *
 * As usual, separate `getUtf8Encoder` and `getUtf8Decoder` functions are also available.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const bytes = getUtf8Encoder().encode('hello'); // 0x68656c6c6f
 * const value = getUtf8Decoder().decode(bytes); // "hello"
 * ```
 *
 * By default, invalid UTF-8 is replaced with the replacement character (`U+FFFD`), a leading byte order mark
 * (`U+FEFF`) is stripped and null characters (`\u0000`) are stripped from decoded strings, since they are
 * commonly used as padding in fixed-size strings. These behaviours can be changed via the `fatal`, `ignoreBOM`
 * and `removeNullCharacters` options.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const codec = getUtf8Codec({ fatal: true, ignoreBOM: true, removeNullCharacters: false });
 * codec.encode('\ud800'); // Throws: lone surrogate.
 * codec.decode(new Uint8Array([0xff])); // Throws: invalid byte sequence.
 * codec.decode(new Uint8Array([0x61, 0x00, 0x62])); // "a\u0000b"
 * codec.decode(new Uint8Array([0xef, 0xbb, 0xbf, 0x61])); // "\ufeffa"
 * ```
 *
 * ## Base 64 codec
 *
 * The `getBase64Codec` function encodes and decodes a base-64 string to and from a byte array.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const bytes = getBase64Codec().encode('hello+world'); // 0x85e965a3ec28ae57
 * const value = getBase64Codec().decode(bytes); // "hello+world"
 * ```
 *
 * As usual, separate `getBase64Encoder` and `getBase64Decoder` functions are also available.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const bytes = getBase64Encoder().encode('hello+world'); // 0x85e965a3ec28ae57
 * const value = getBase64Decoder().decode(bytes); // "hello+world"
 * ```
 *
 * ## Base 58 codec
 *
 * The `getBase58Codec` function encodes and decodes a base-58 string to and from a byte array.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const bytes = getBase58Codec().encode('heLLo'); // 0x1b6a3070
 * const value = getBase58Codec().decode(bytes); // "heLLo"
 * ```
 *
 * As usual, separate `getBase58Encoder` and `getBase58Decoder` functions are also available.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const bytes = getBase58Encoder().encode('heLLo'); // 0x1b6a3070
 * const value = getBase58Decoder().decode(bytes); // "heLLo"
 * ```
 *
 * ## Base 16 codec
 *
 * The `getBase16Codec` function encodes and decodes a base-16 string to and from a byte array.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const bytes = getBase16Codec().encode('deadface'); // 0xdeadface
 * const value = getBase16Codec().decode(bytes); // "deadface"
 * ```
 *
 * As usual, separate `getBase16Encoder` and `getBase16Decoder` functions are also available.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const bytes = getBase16Encoder().encode('deadface'); // 0xdeadface
 * const value = getBase16Decoder().decode(bytes); // "deadface"
 * ```
 *
 * ## Base 10 codec
 *
 * The `getBase10Codec` function encodes and decodes a base-10 string to and from a byte array.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const bytes = getBase10Codec().encode('1024'); // 0x0400
 * const value = getBase10Codec().decode(bytes); // "1024"
 * ```
 *
 * As usual, separate `getBase10Encoder` and `getBase10Decoder` functions are also available.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const bytes = getBase10Encoder().encode('1024'); // 0x0400
 * const value = getBase10Decoder().decode(bytes); // "1024"
 * ```
 *
 * ## Base X codec
 *
 * The `getBaseXCodec` accepts a custom `alphabet` of `X` characters and creates a base-X codec using that alphabet.
 * It does so by iteratively dividing by `X` and handling leading zeros.
 *
 * The base-10 and base-58 codecs use this base-x codec under the hood.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const alphabet = '0ehlo';
 * const bytes = getBaseXCodec(alphabet).encode('hello'); // 0x05bd
 * const value = getBaseXCodec(alphabet).decode(bytes); // "hello"
 * ```
 *
 * As usual, separate `getBaseXEncoder` and `getBaseXDecoder` functions are also available.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const bytes = getBaseXEncoder(alphabet).encode('hello'); // 0x05bd
 * const value = getBaseXDecoder(alphabet).decode(bytes); // "hello"
 * ```
 *
 * ## Re-slicing base X codec
 *
 * The `getBaseXResliceCodec` also creates a base-x codec but uses a different strategy.
 * It re-slices bytes into custom chunks of bits that are then mapped to a provided `alphabet`.
 * The number of bits per chunk is also provided and should typically be set to `log2(alphabet.length)`.
 *
 * This is typically used to create codecs whose alphabet’s length is a power of 2 such as base-16 or base-64.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const bytes = getBaseXResliceCodec('elho', 2).encode('hellolol'); // 0x4aee
 * const value = getBaseXResliceCodec('elho', 2).decode(bytes); // "hellolol"
 * ```
 *
 * As usual, separate `getBaseXResliceEncoder` and `getBaseXResliceDecoder` functions are also available.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const bytes = getBaseXResliceEncoder('elho', 2).encode('hellolol'); // 0x4aee
 * const value = getBaseXResliceDecoder('elho', 2).decode(bytes); // "hellolol"
 * ```
