About Base64 Encoding/Decoding
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It's 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 for Base64 encoding:
- Embedding image data in HTML or CSS
- Sending binary data in JSON payloads
- Encoding email attachments (MIME)
- Storing complex data in XML
