Base64 Encoder/Decoder 🔐
What is Base64 Encoding?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It's commonly used when there's a need to encode binary data that needs to be stored and transferred over media that are designed to deal with textual data.
The 64-Character Set
Base64 uses 64 characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, and /. The '=' character is used for padding. Every 3 bytes (24 bits) of data are converted into four 6-bit groups, which correspond to the index of these characters.
