Description
The "bloblang" method encode supports hex (base16) and base64 encodings (among others).
It would be useful if also base32 could be supported, since the given case-insensitivity makes it easier to pass to and remember base32 encodings by humans. Furthermore, base32 is also part of the Go encoding standard library, so no third-party package would be needed.
Thank you for considering this proposal
BTW: Could all available encoding methods be added to the documentation: https://docs.redpanda.com/connect/guides/bloblang/methods/#encode ? Thanks
