Clojure implementation of the Multihash spec
A Clojure library implementing the multihash standard. This provides an extensible, efficient binary representation for cryptographic hashes.
Library releases are published on Clojars. To use the latest version with Leiningen, add the following dependency to your project definition:
The main focus of this library is the Multihash type, which serves as an
immutable representation of the output digest for a specific hash algorithm.
Multihashes are sortable, support metadata, and implement value-based equality
and hash-code generation.
(require '[multihash.core :as multihash]
'[multihash.digest :as digest])
; List the known hash functions:
=> (keys multihash/algorithm-codes)
(:sha1 :sha2-256 :sha2-512 :sha3 :blake2b :blake2s)
; Manually create a multihash value:
=> (multihash/create :sha1 "0f1e2d3c4b5a6978")
#<Multihash hash:sha1:0f1e2d3c4b5a6978>
; Or use one of the constructors for built-in Java implementations:
=> (keys digest/functions)
(:sha1 :sha2-256 :sha2-512)
=> (def mhash (digest/sha2-256 "foo bar baz"))
#'user/mhash
; Properties can be accessed using keyword lookups:
=> (:algorithm mhash)
:sha2-256
=> (:code mhash)
18
=> (:length mhash)
32 ; bytes
; :digest returns a *copy* of the digest bytes:
=> (:digest mhash)
#bin "29MYwcRiruhy9BEJpN/TBIhxoD3t0P4OdXztV9rW8tc="One of the appeals of the multihash standard is that it can be serialized without specifying an encoding for the resulting byte representation. This library provides several formats for multihashes:
; Multihashes render as URN-like strings:
=> (str mhash)
"hash:sha2-256:dbd318c1c462aee872f41109a4dfd3048871a03dedd0fe0e757ced57dad6f2d7"
; Directly encode a multihash into a byte array:
=> (multihash/encode mhash)
#bin "EiDb0xjBxGKu6HL0EQmk39MEiHGgPe3Q/g51fO1X2tby1w=="
; Read data to decode a multihash:
=> (= mhash (multihash/decode *1))
true
; Full hex encoding is supported:
=> (multihash/hex mhash)
"1220dbd318c1c462aee872f41109a4dfd3048871a03dedd0fe0e757ced57dad6f2d7"
=> (= mhash (multihash/decode *1))
true
; As is base58 (compatible with IPFS):
=> (multihash/base58 mhash)
"Qmd8kgzaFLGYtTS1zfF37qKGgYQd5yKcQMyBeSa8UkUz4W"
=> (= mhash (multihash/decode *1))
trueDecoding is implemented as a protocol, so it can be extended to other data source types as needed.
