# OnionCompressor

Per v3 Tor onion spec: https://github.com/torproject/torspec/blob/main/rend-spec-v3.txt

This small module 'compresses' v3 onions by decoding the base32, removing the non-security related checksum, and removing the version number.

The resulting bytes is actually a valid ed25519 public key, but you probably shouldn't use it for anything but normal Tor onion uses.

It can also uncompress the bytes back to the human friendly format.

# Usage

`compressed: bytes = onioncompressor.compress('duckduckgogg42xjoc72x3sjasowoarfbgcmvfimaftt6twagswzczad.onion')`

`uncompressed: str: = onioncompressor.compress(compressed)`
