All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultElFinderHashCodec
public interface IElFinderHashCodec extends IElFinderHashEncoder, IElFinderHashDecoder, Serializable
Encoder and decoder for file and directory file paths. Used by the elFinder API to avoid having to use real file paths from the file system.

Note: Despite the elFinder docs calling it a "hash", it is NOT a hash at all. A hash is (usually) irreversible, while this is a reversible encoding. It is more of a "file path encoder / decoder" or "file path codec".

The hash is used to identify a file in the elFinder client-server API.
