Abracadabra is an open-source text encryption tool that transforms encrypted data into realistic Classical Chinese (wenyan) prose, using AES-256 plus compression and randomized sentence construction. It ships as a JavaScript/WASM library with a web app and browser extension, and can also decrypt the legacy 'Xiong Yue' cipher.

Use cases

• encrypt text so it looks like classical Chinese prose
• hide encrypted messages in literary-looking text
• encrypt short strings with AES locally offline
• decrypt Xiong Yue (与熊论道) ciphertext
• compress text before encryption to shorten ciphertext
• embed a text encryption library in a web app

When to choose

• you want ciphertext that blends in as normal Classical Chinese text
• you need local, offline AES-based text encryption in JavaScript
• you want tunable randomness and text style in encrypted output
• you need to decrypt legacy Xiong Yue encoded text

When to avoid

• you need formally audited, standards-compliant cryptography for production security
• you need a permissive license for unrestricted commercial use (AIPL-1.1 has restrictions)
• you need encryption of non-text/binary data at scale
• you need output in languages other than Chinese
