Base32 Class
Provides methods for encoding and decoding data using Base32 and Base32hex formats as defined in RFC 4648. Supports optional padding and ignores padding characters during decoding.

Methods
Base32.Decode(ReadOnlySpan<char>) Method
Decodes a Base32-encoded string into a byte array. Ignores any '=' padding characters at the end of the input.
public static byte[] Decode(System.ReadOnlySpan<char> input);Parameters
input System.ReadOnlySpan<System.Char>
The Base32 string to decode (may include padding '=').
Returns
System.Byte[]
A byte array containing the original binary data.
Exceptions
System.ArgumentException
Thrown if the input contains invalid Base32 characters.
Base32.DecodeHex(ReadOnlySpan<char>) Method
Decodes a Base32hex-encoded string into a byte array. Ignores any '=' padding characters at the end of the input.
public static byte[] DecodeHex(System.ReadOnlySpan<char> input);Parameters
input System.ReadOnlySpan<System.Char>
The Base32hex string to decode (may include padding '=').
Returns
System.Byte[]
A byte array containing the original binary data.
Exceptions
System.ArgumentException
Thrown if the input contains invalid Base32hex characters.
Base32.Encode(ReadOnlySpan<byte>, bool) Method
Encodes the specified binary data into a Base32 string using the standard RFC 4648 alphabet (A-Z, 2-7).
public static string Encode(System.ReadOnlySpan<byte> input, bool padding=true);Parameters
input System.ReadOnlySpan<System.Byte>
The binary data to encode.
padding System.Boolean
true to include '=' characters to pad the output string to a multiple of 8 characters;
false to omit padding.
Returns
System.String
A Base32-encoded string representation of the input data. If padding is true,
the result length is always a multiple of 8 by adding '=' characters as needed.
Base32.EncodeHex(ReadOnlySpan<byte>, bool) Method
Encodes the specified binary data into a Base32hex string using the extended hexadecimal alphabet (0-9, A-V).
public static string EncodeHex(System.ReadOnlySpan<byte> input, bool padding=true);Parameters
input System.ReadOnlySpan<System.Byte>
The binary data to encode.
padding System.Boolean
true to include '=' characters to pad the output string to a multiple of 8 characters;
false to omit padding.
Returns
System.String
A Base32hex-encoded string representation of the input data. If padding is true,
the result length is always a multiple of 8 by adding '=' characters as needed.
