2. base64 - What is base 64 encoding used for? - Stack Overflow

   stackoverflow.com/questions/201479

   The base64 is a binary to a text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. base64 is designed to carry data stored in binary format across the channels. It takes any form of data and transforms it into a long string of plain text.

3. What is the real purpose of Base64 encoding? - Stack Overflow

   stackoverflow.com/questions/10315757

   141. Base64 is a way to encode binary data into an ASCII character set known to pretty much every computer system, in order to transmit the data without loss or modification of the contents itself. For example, mail systems cannot deal with binary data because they expect ASCII (textual) data.

4. Why does a base64 encoded string have an = sign at the end

   stackoverflow.com/questions/6916805

   A: As a short answer: The last character (= sign) is added only as a complement (padding) in the final process of encoding a message with a special number of characters. You will not have an = sign if your string has a multiple of 3 characters, because Base64 encoding takes each three bytes (a character=1 byte) and represents them as four ...

5. How to encode text to base64 in python - Stack Overflow

   stackoverflow.com/questions/23164058

   Base64 encoding is a process of converting binary data to an ASCII string format by converting that binary data into a 6-bit character representation. The Base64 method of encoding is used when binary data, such as images or video, is transmitted over systems that are designed to transmit data in a plain-text (ASCII) format.

6. Base64 Encode "string" - command-line Windows? - Stack Overflow

   stackoverflow.com/questions/37046771

   23. If you have OpenSSL for Windows installed you can use this to encode the string "Hello": echo | set /p="Hello" | openssl base64. The | set /p= is to suppress the newline that echo usually outputs. This will produce the same result as the following in bash: echo -n 'Hello' | openssl base64. Output:

7. How do you decode Base64 data in Python? - Stack Overflow

   stackoverflow.com/questions/3470546

   I have the following piece of Base64 encoded data, and I want to use the Python Base64 module to extract information from it.

8. How do I encode and decode a base64 string? - Stack Overflow

   stackoverflow.com/questions/11743160

   Remember base64 is primarily intended for representing binary data in ASCII, for storing in a char field in a database or sending via email (where new lines could be injected). Do you really want to take character data, convert it to bytes, then convert it back to character data, this time unreadable and with no hint of what the original ...

9. What is the purpose of base 64 encoding and why it used ...

   stackoverflow.com/questions/4070693

   Base64 encoding is a form of obfuscation, which simply means to render unclear. For many applications, this is sufficient encryption where the goal is simply to mangle any clear text sent over a wire, for example.

10. How can I do Base64 encoding in Node.js? - Stack Overflow

    stackoverflow.com/questions/6182315

    'base64' - Base64 string encoding. 'binary' - A way of encoding raw binary data into strings by using only the first 8 bits of each character. This encoding method is deprecated and should be avoided in favor of Buffer objects where possible. This encoding will be removed in future versions of Node.

11. How can you encode/decode a string to Base64 in JavaScript?

    stackoverflow.com/questions/246801

    For Node.js you can use the following to encode string, Buffer, or Uint8Array to string, and decode from string, Buffer, or Uint8Array to Buffer. const base64 = {. decode: s => Buffer.from(s, 'base64'), encode: b => Buffer.from(b).toString('base64') }; edited Jan 14 at 17:31. answered Nov 9, 2018 at 7:15.
