Base 64 component

Component to allow base 64 encoding and decoding. Sometimes when communicating raw binary data it is useful to perform base 64 encoding to ensure that none of your data bytes trigger any escape codes or other special case conditions. Base64 converts your binary data into readable data using standard ASCII characters so you can be fairly certain that the data you send is the same as the data that is received.

Examples

Here is a basic example that shows how to convert data into base64 encoded data and visa versa. Base64 Tests

Encode

Encodes an array of bytes into a base64 encoded string

Parameters

BYTE BinaryData

Raw binary data array you wish to encode

UINT ByteCount

Number of bytes of data to encode

Return value

STRING

Decode

Decodes a base64 encoded string into an array of bytes.

Populates the BinaryData parameter array with the decoded data.

Returns the number of decoded data bytes.

Parameters

BYTE BinaryData

Variable to hold the decoded binary data

<- STRING Base64Data

Data string you wish to decode

This parameter may be returned back to the caller

Return value

UINT
