Module `std.base64`

Support for Base64 encoding and decoding.

This module provides two default implementations of Base64 encoding, Base64 with a standard encoding alphabet, and a variant Base64URL that has a modified encoding alphabet designed to be safe for embedding in URLs and filenames.

Both variants are implemented as instantiations of the template Base64Impl. Most users will not need to use this template directly; however, it can be used to create customized Base64 encodings, such as one that omits padding characters, or one that is safe to embed inside a regular expression.

Example

ubyte[] data = [0x14, 0xfb, 0x9c, 0x03, 0xd9, 0x7e];

const(char)[] encoded = Base64.encode(data);
assert(encoded == "FPucA9l+");

ubyte[] decoded = Base64.decode("FPucA9l+");
assert(decoded == [0x14, 0xfb, 0x9c, 0x03, 0xd9, 0x7e]);

The range API is supported for both encoding and decoding:

Example

// Create MIME Base64 with CRLF, per line 76.
File f = File("./text.txt", "r");
scope(exit) f.close();

Appender!string mime64 = appender!string;

foreach (encoded; Base64.encoder(f.byChunk(57)))
{
    mime64.put(encoded);
    mime64.put("\r\n");
}

writeln(mime64.data);
