To build the module run:
node-waf configure build
This will produce `base62.node` binary module. To use it, make sure the
module's directory is in NODE_PATH.
The module exports two functions `encode`, and `decode`.
encode
------
Encodes an integer to base62.
Here is a basic example:
var sys = require('sys');
var b62 = require('base62);
sys.print(b62.encode(123456789));
/* Output: 8m0Kx */
decode
------
Decodes a string to the original integer encoded by encode function.
var sys = require('sys');
var b62 = require('base62');
sys.print(b62.decode('8m0Kx'));
/* Output: 123456789 */
