codex

Simple fast library that compress, encrypt and encode data, for session storage and other use-cases

Wraps over: https://github.com/gerritjvv/encode

Usage

Default Encoder

(require '[codex.core :as codex])

;; the default encoder uses :aes-cbc-hmac( lz4 (kryo ...)))
(def encoder (codex/default-encoder (codex/expand-pass :sha256+hmac512 "secret")))

(def data {:a 1 :b {:c [1 2 3]}})

(def encrypted-data (codex/encode encoder data))
(def decoded-data (codex/decode encoder encrypted-data))
      
      
;; using records
(defrecord MyRecord [a b])

(codex/register-record! MyRecord)

(def encoder  (codex/default-encoder (codex/expand-pass :sha256+hmac512 "secret")))
(def encrypted-data (codex/encode encoder (->MyRecord 1 2)))
(def decoded-data (codex/decode encoder encrypted-data))

Combining Encoders

(require '[codex.core :as codex])

(def encoder (->>
                  (codex/kryo-encoder)                              ;; convert to bytes
                  (codex/lz4-encoder)                               ;; compress
                  (codex/crypto-encoder                             ;; encrypt
                    :aes-cbc-hmac
                    (codex/expand-pass :sha256+hmac512 "secret"))))

(def data {:a 1 :b {:c [1 2 3]}})

(def encrypted-data (codex/encode encoder data))
(def decoded-data (codex/decode encoder encrypted-data))

Kryo

This library uses Kryo to serialise objects to byte arrays and back.
Its only pain point is that to be efficient every class and type must be registered.

;; Register new records
(codex/register-record!  ...)

;; Bring your own Kryo Serializer
(codex/register-serializer! ...)
