This class can be used to encode and decode data inside PNG images.
It can take a string of data or a file and creates an image in PNG format that stores the values of the given data. The generated image can be monochrome or colored.
The class can also do the opposite, i.e. recover the data previously stored in a PNG image.

PNG is a format that can be used to store images in a lossless compression format. This means that a PNG image viewer is able to display the original image colors. This is different from the JPEG lossy compression algorithms that do not guarantee that the original colors can be recovered after decompression. This property of PNG lossless compression can be used to transmit arbitrary data in a compressed format inside PNG images. This makes possible to pass binary data to JavaScript running on a browser that supports HTML 5 Canvas. After loading a PNG image sent by the server on a Canvas object, it is possible to recover the original uncompressed data passed inside the PNG image. This class make it easier to take advantage of this possibility by generating PNG images that embed arbitrary binary data. It can also do the opposite, i.e, decode binary data submitted to the server eventually from JavaScript using HTML 5 Canvas objects. Manuel Lemos |
