About Base64 Encoding & Decoding
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It is widely used when there is a need to encode binary data that needs to be stored and transferred over media that are designed to deal with textual data. This ensures that the data remains intact without modification during transit.
