Module base64
An implementation of a subset of the Erlang/OTP base64 interface.
Description
This module is designed to be API-compatible with the Erlang/OTP base64 module, with the following exceptions:
No support for decoding data with whitespace in base64 data
No support for mime decoding functions
Function Index
| decode/1 | Base-64 decode a binary or string, outputting a binary. |
| decode_to_string/1 | Base-64 decode a binary or string, outputting a string. |
| encode/1 | Base-64 encode a binary or string, outputting a binary. |
| encode_to_string/1 | Base-64 encode a binary or string, outputting a string. |
Function Details
decode/1
decode(Data::binary() | iolist()) -> binary()
Data: the data to decode
returns: the base-64 data decoded, as a binary
Base-64 decode a binary or string, outputting a binary.
This function will raise a badarg exception if the supplied data is not valid base64-encoded data.
decode_to_string/1
decode_to_string(Data::binary() | iolist()) -> string()
Data: the data to decode
returns: the base-64 data decoded, as a string
Base-64 decode a binary or string, outputting a string.
This function will raise a badarg exception if the supplied data is not valid base64-encoded data.
encode/1
encode(Data::binary() | iolist()) -> binary()
Data: the data to encode
returns: the base-64 data encoded, as a binary
Base-64 encode a binary or string, outputting a binary.
encode_to_string/1
encode_to_string(Data::binary() | iolist()) -> string()
Data: the data to encode
returns: the base-64 data encoded, as a string
Base-64 encode a binary or string, outputting a string.
