About Base64 Encoding
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It is designed to carry data stored in binary formats across channels that only reliably support text content.
Base64 is commonly used for:
- Embedding images in HTML or CSS
- Sending binary data in email attachments
- Storing complex data in XML or JSON
- Transmitting binary data over text-based protocols
- Encoding credentials in basic authentication headers
The "Base64" name comes from the encoding's character set, which uses 64 different characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /) to represent binary data, with = used as a padding character.
