Everything about Base64
Encoding for a sequence of byte values using 64 printable characters
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding that uses 64 printable characters to represent each 6-bit segment of a sequence of byte values. As for all binary-to-text encodings, Base64 encoding enables transmitting binary data on a communication channel that only supports text. Wikipedia →
