Encode a Text value in Base64url with padding.

See: RFC-4648 section 5

Decode a padded Base64url-encoded Text value. If its length is not a multiple of 4, then padding chars will be added to fill out the input to a multiple of 4 for safe decoding as base64url encodings are optionally padded.

For a decoder that fails on unpadded input, use decodeBase64Unpadded

Note: This function makes sure that decoding is total by deferring to decodeLatin1. This will always round trip for any valid Base64-encoded text value, but it may not round trip for bad inputs. The onus is on the caller to make sure inputs are valid. If unsure, defer to decodeBase64With and pass in a custom decode function.

See: RFC-4648 section 4

Attempt to decode a ByteString value as Base64url, converting from ByteString to Text according to some encoding function. In practice, This is something like decodeUtf8', which may produce an error.

See: RFC-4648 section 4

Example:

decodeBase64With decodeUtf8'
  :: Text -> Either (Base64Error UnicodeException) Text

Encode a Text value in Base64url without padding. Note that for Base64url, padding is optional. If you call this function, you will simply be encoding as Base64url and stripping padding chars from the output.

See: RFC-4648 section 3.2

Decode an unpadded Base64url encoded Text value.

Note: This function makes sure that decoding is total by deferring to decodeLatin1. This will always round trip for any valid Base64-encoded text value, but it may not round trip for bad inputs. The onus is on the caller to make sure inputs are valid. If unsure, defer to decodeBase64UnpaddedWith and pass in a custom decode function.

See: RFC-4648 section 4

Attempt to decode an unpadded ByteString value as Base64url, converting from ByteString to Text according to some encoding function. In practice, This is something like decodeUtf8', which may produce an error.

See: RFC-4648 section 4

Example:

decodeBase64With decodeUtf8'
  :: ByteString -> Either (Base64Error UnicodeException) Text

Decode an padded Base64url encoded Text value

Note: This function makes sure that decoding is total by deferring to decodeLatin1. This will always round trip for any valid Base64-encoded text value, but it may not round trip for bad inputs. The onus is on the caller to make sure inputs are valid. If unsure, defer to decodeBase64PaddedWith and pass in a custom decode function.

See: RFC-4648 section 4

Attempt to decode a padded ByteString value as Base64url, converting from ByteString to Text according to some encoding function. In practice, This is something like decodeUtf8', which may produce an error.

See: RFC-4648 section 4

Example:

decodeBase64With decodeUtf8'
  :: ByteString -> Either (Base64Error UnicodeException) Text

Leniently decode an unpadded Base64url-encoded Text. This function will not generate parse errors. If input data contains padding chars, then the input will be parsed up until the first pad character.

Note: This is not RFC 4648-compliant.

Tell whether a Text value is Base64url-encoded.

Tell whether a Text value is a valid Base64url format.

This will not tell you whether or not this is a correct Base64url representation, only that it conforms to the correct shape. To check whether it is a true Base64 encoded Text value, use isBase64Url.
