About Base64 Encoding
Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation. The term Base64 originates from a specific MIME content transfer encoding.
Base64 encoding schemes are 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 textual data. This is to ensure that the data remains intact without modification during transport.
Common uses of Base64 encoding include:
- Encoding email attachments
- Storing complex data in JSON
- Embedding image data directly in HTML or CSS
- Encoding binary data to be included in a URL
- Storing binary data in XML
