Installation

This package targets .NET 8.0+.

dotnet add package BosonWare.Runtime

Usage Examples

Encryption

// Base58 encoding
var data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Hello, World!");
var encoded = Base58.EncodeData(data);

// AES encryption
var key = EphemeralKeys.Get("sessionKey");
using var aes = new AesEncryptionService(key);
var encrypted = aes.Encrypt(data);

TUI

// Write a message with ANSI markup.
SmartConsole.WriteLine("[red]This text is red[/]\n[green]This text is green[/]");

// Converting markup to raw ANSI text.
var txt = AnsiCodes.ProcessMarkup("[bright]This is a test of the[/] [red]ANSI[/] codes in [green]BosonWare.Runtime[/].");

Console.WriteLine(txt);
