Description

Fast and efficient encoding and decoding of base64-encoded strings.

Since: 0.1.0.0

Synopsis

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.
