DotNut.BcUr

C# native, zero-dependency implementation of the BC-UR encoding specification. Based on the reference C++ implementation by Blockchain Commons.

Installation

dotnet add package DotNut.BcUr

Usage

Single-part encoding

using DotNut.BcUr;

byte[] data = ...;

Ur ur = Ur.FromBytes(data);
string encoded = UREncoder.Encode(ur);
// "ur:bytes/hdeymejtswh..."

Ur decoded = URDecoder.Decode(encoded);
byte[] original = decoded.ToBytes();

Custom CBOR type

byte[] cbor = ...; // pre-encoded CBOR
var ur = new Ur("crypto-seed", cbor);

string encoded = UREncoder.Encode(ur);
// "ur:crypto-seed/..."

Multi-part encoding (animated QR)

For large payloads split across multiple QR codes using fountain codes.

byte[] data = ...;
var ur = Ur.FromBytes(data);
var encoder = new UREncoder(ur, maxFragmentLen: 200);
var decoder = new URDecoder();

while (!decoder.IsComplete)
{
    string part = encoder.NextPart();
    // display QR for `part`, e.g. "ur:bytes/1-9/lpadascf..."
    decoder.ReceivePart(part);
}

Multi-part decoding

var decoder = new URDecoder();

foreach (string part in scannedParts)
{
    decoder.ReceivePart(part);
    if (decoder.IsComplete) break;
}

if (decoder.IsSuccess)
    byte[] data = decoder.ResultUr!.ToBytes();
else if (decoder.IsFailure)
    Exception error = decoder.ResultError!;

Bytewords

Low-level access to the Bytewords encoding used internally by UR.

string standard = ByteWords.Encode(data, ByteWords.Style.Standard); // "able acid also..."
string uri      = ByteWords.Encode(data, ByteWords.Style.Uri);      // "able-acid-also-..."
string minimal  = ByteWords.Encode(data, ByteWords.Style.Minimal);  // "aaao..."

byte[] decoded = ByteWords.Decode(minimal, ByteWords.Style.Minimal);
