About Base64 Encoding/Decoding
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation.
Base64 is commonly used when there is a need to encode binary data that needs to be stored and transferred over media that are designed to deal with text.
Common uses of Base64:
- Encoding binary data in JSON
- Embedding image data in CSS or HTML
- Encoding email attachments (MIME)
- Storing complex data in XML
- Basic authentication credentials
Benefits of Base64:
- Ensures safe transport of binary data across systems
- Prevents data corruption during transfer
- Allows binary data to be included in text-only formats
- Widely supported across programming languages
