Three 8-bit ## bytes (i.e., a total of 24 bits) can therefore be represented by ## four 6-bit Base64 digits. ##[ # Basic usage ## Encoding data ]## runnableExamples: let encoded = encode("Hello World") assert encoded == "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=" ## ## Apart from strings you can also encode lists of integers or characters: ## runnableExamples: let encodedInts = encode([1'u8,2,3]) assert encodedInts == "AQID" let encodedChars = encode(['h','e','y']) assert encodedChars == "aGV5" ##[ ## Decoding data ]## runnableExamples: let decoded = decode("SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=") assert decoded == "Hello World" ##[ ## URL Safe Base64 ]## runnableExamples: assert encode("c\xf7>", safe = true) == "Y_c-" assert encode("c\xf7>", safe = false) == "Y/c+" ## See also ## ======== ## ## * `hashes module`_ for efficient computations of hash values for diverse Nim types ## * `md5 module`_ for the MD5 checksum algorithm ## * `sha1 module`_ for the SHA-1 checksum algorithm template cbBase(a, b): untyped = [ 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', a, b] let cb64 = cbBase('+', '/') cb64safe = cbBase('-', '_') const cb64VM = cbBase('+', '/') cb64safeVM = cbBase('-', '_') const invalidChar = 255 template encodeSize(size: int): int = (size * 4 div 3) + 6 template encodeInternal(s, alphabet: typed): untyped = ## encodes `s` into base64 representation. result.setLen(encodeSize(s.len)) let padding = s.len mod 3 inputEnds = s.len -
