== Title == 
String and file format encoding

== One line summary ==
Provide a unified efficient encoding library that can be reused rather than having each library redo its own implementation.

== Description ==
We currently have the Eiffel encoding library but this library mostly performs string conversion for the underlying system using the OS specific routines. The idea is to extend the library so that Eiffel encoding/decoding is done without OS specific routines.

This encoding/decoding should work for various kind of streams: sequence of characters, of natural numbers of different size and of different endianness, sequence of bytes in memory, plain text and binary files.

== Skills needed ==
Like to play low level since it will mostly be doing low level bit operations.
Like to play with high level abstractions.

== Difficulty ==
Medium

== Licensing ==
EFLv2

== Documentation ==
In the Eiffel source code as well as in http://docs.eiffel.com for the user code.

== Submitter ==
Eiffel Software

== Possible mentor ==
Undecided
