Function encode_to_validated 

pub fn encode_to_validated<T: AsRef<[u8]>>(
    base: Base,
    input: T,
) -> EncodedString

Encode with the given byte slice and return a validated EncodedString.

This is a convenience function that combines encode with EncodedString::new, providing type-level guarantees that the returned string is a valid multibase encoding.

Examples

use multi_base::{Base, encode_to_validated};

let encoded = encode_to_validated(Base::Base58Btc, b"hello");
assert_eq!(encoded.base(), Base::Base58Btc);
assert_eq!(encoded.as_str(), "zCn8eVZg");

// Decode directly from the validated string
let decoded = encoded.decode().unwrap();
assert_eq!(decoded, b"hello");

Performance

This function has the same performance characteristics as encode. The validation overhead is negligible (just checking the base code).
