Functions
encode(Data) -> Base64
encode_to_string(Data) -> Base64String
Data = string() | binary()
Base64 = binary()
Base64String = string()
Encodes a plain ASCII string into base64. The result will be 33% larger than the data.
decode(Base64) -> Data
decode_to_string(Base64) -> DataString
mime_decode(Base64) -> Data
mime_decode_to_string(Base64) -> DataString
Base64 = string() | binary()
Data = binary()
DataString = string()
Decodes a base64 encoded string to plain ASCII. See RFC4648.
mime_decode/1
and mime_decode_to_string/1
strips away illegal characters, while decode/1
and
decode_to_string/1
only strips away whitespace characters.
