What is Base64 Encoding?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data using 64 ASCII characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /). It's commonly used to embed binary data in text-based formats like JSON, XML, HTML, and email (MIME).
Common Uses for Base64 Encoding
Embedding images in CSS or HTML as data URIs, sending binary data in JSON API payloads, encoding email attachments (MIME), storing binary data in text-only databases, and creating basic authentication headers (though Base64 is encoding, not encryption â never use it for security).
