Data.ByteString.Base64
Description
Fast and efficient encoding and decoding of base64-encoded strings.
Since: 0.1.0.0
Synopsis
- encode :: ByteString -> ByteString
- decode :: ByteString -> Either String ByteString
- decodeLenient :: ByteString -> ByteString
Documentation
encode :: ByteString -> ByteString Source #
Encode a string into base64 form. The result will always be a multiple of 4 bytes in length.
decode :: ByteString -> Either String ByteString Source #
Decode a base64-encoded string. This function strictly follows the specification in RFC 4648.
(Note: this means that even "n", "rn" as line breaks are rejected
rather than ignored. If you are using this in the context of a
standard that overrules RFC 4648 such as HTTP multipart mime bodies,
consider using decodeLenient.)
decodeLenient :: ByteString -> ByteString Source #
Decode a base64-encoded string. This function is lenient in following the specification from RFC 4648, and will not generate parse errors no matter how poor its input.
