这是我所使用的:

# Generate a [0-9a-zA-Z] string
ALPHABET = map(str,range(0, 10)) + map(chr, range(97, 123) + range(65, 91))

def encode_id(id_number, alphabet=ALPHABET):
    """Convert an integer to a string."""
    if id_number == 0:
        return alphabet[0]

    alphabet_len = len(alphabet) # Cache

    result = ''
    while id_number > 0:
        id_number, mod = divmod(id_number, alphabet_len)
        result = alphabet[mod] + result

    return result

def decode_id(id_string, alphabet=ALPHABET):
    """Convert a string to an integer."""
    alphabet_len = len(alphabet) # Cache
    return sum([alphabet.index(char) * pow(alphabet_len, power) for power, char in enumerate(reversed(id_string))])

它非常快，可以取很长的整数。

您可以散列整个URL，但如果您只想缩短id，请按照marcel的建议进行。我写了这个Python实现:

https://gist.github.com/778542

Scala中的实现:

class Encoder(alphabet: String) extends (Long => String) {

  val Base = alphabet.size

  override def apply(number: Long) = {
    def encode(current: Long): List[Int] = {
      if (current == 0) Nil
      else (current % Base).toInt :: encode(current / Base)
    }
    encode(number).reverse
      .map(current => alphabet.charAt(current)).mkString
  }
}

class Decoder(alphabet: String) extends (String => Long) {

  val Base = alphabet.size

  override def apply(string: String) = {
    def decode(current: Long, encodedPart: String): Long = {
      if (encodedPart.size == 0) current
      else decode(current * Base + alphabet.indexOf(encodedPart.head),encodedPart.tail)
    }
    decode(0,string)
  }
}

使用Scala测试的测试示例:

import org.scalatest.{FlatSpec, Matchers}

class DecoderAndEncoderTest extends FlatSpec with Matchers {

  val Alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"

  "A number with base 10" should "be correctly encoded into base 62 string" in {
    val encoder = new Encoder(Alphabet)
    encoder(127) should be ("cd")
    encoder(543513414) should be ("KWGPy")
  }

  "A base 62 string" should "be correctly decoded into a number with base 10" in {
    val decoder = new Decoder(Alphabet)
    decoder("cd") should be (127)
    decoder("KWGPy") should be (543513414)
  }

}

我不断增加数据库中每个域的整数序列，并使用Hashids将整数编码为URL路径。

static hashids = Hashids(salt = "my app rocks", minSize = 6)

我运行了一个脚本，看看它需要多长时间才能耗尽字符长度。对于6个字符，它可以做164,916,224个链接，然后增加到7个字符。Bitly使用7个字符。在我看来，不到五个字很奇怪。

哈希id可以将URL路径解码为整数，但更简单的解决方案是使用整个短链接sho。Rt /ka8ds3作为主键。

以下是完整的概念:

function addDomain(domain) {
    table("domains").insert("domain", domain, "seq", 0)
}

function addURL(domain, longURL) {
    seq = table("domains").where("domain = ?", domain).increment("seq")
    shortURL = domain + "/" + hashids.encode(seq)
    table("links").insert("short", shortURL, "long", longURL)
    return shortURL
}

// GET /:hashcode
function handleRequest(req, res) {
    shortURL = req.host + "/" + req.param("hashcode")
    longURL = table("links").where("short = ?", shortURL).get("long")
    res.redirect(301, longURL)
}

非常好的回答，我已经创建了一个bjf的Golang实现:

package bjf

import (
    "math"
    "strings"
    "strconv"
)

const alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"

func Encode(num string) string {
    n, _ := strconv.ParseUint(num, 10, 64)
    t := make([]byte, 0)

    /* Special case */
    if n == 0 {
        return string(alphabet[0])
    }

    /* Map */
    for n > 0 {
        r := n % uint64(len(alphabet))
        t = append(t, alphabet[r])
        n = n / uint64(len(alphabet))
    }

    /* Reverse */
    for i, j := 0, len(t) - 1; i < j; i, j = i + 1, j - 1 {
        t[i], t[j] = t[j], t[i]
    }

    return string(t)
}

func Decode(token string) int {
    r := int(0)
    p := float64(len(token)) - 1

    for i := 0; i < len(token); i++ {
        r += strings.Index(alphabet, string(token[i])) * int(math.Pow(float64(len(alphabet)), p))
        p--
    }

    return r
}

我的Python 3版本

base_list = list("0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")
base = len(base_list)

def encode(num: int):
    result = []
    if num == 0:
        result.append(base_list[0])

    while num > 0:
        result.append(base_list[num % base])
        num //= base

    print("".join(reversed(result)))

def decode(code: str):
    num = 0
    code_list = list(code)
    for index, code in enumerate(reversed(code_list)):
