  Description     : A no_std, fast, zero-dependency base62 encoder/decoder library for Rust

 base62 is a no_std, fast, zero-dependency encoder/decoder
 library for Rust, typically used in URL shorteners. It supports
 both standard [0-9A-Za-z] and alternative [0-9a-zA-Z] variants.
 
 With the alloc feature (enabled by default), it provides functions
 for converting between u128 values and base62 strings using both
 standard (0-9, A-Z, a-z) and  alternative (0-9, a-z, A-Z) alphabets.
 When used without default features, it provides the core encoding
 and decoding primitives that operate on byte slices.

 For usage with the standard library’s IO traits, the std feature
 is required.

 From the packager:

 Because this package is zero-dependency, it is widely used in many
 rust packages, such as the rust-i18n which I am packaging.

 I will maintain this package by myself and with other members if I
 join the Rust team successfully.

 I need a sponsor for this package.
