Name: base64Encode
Type: function
Syntax: the base64Encode of <data>
Syntax: base64Encode(<data>)
Summary:
<return|Returns> a base 64-<encode|encoded> string.
Introduced: 1.0
OS: mac, windows, linux, ios, android
Platforms: desktop, server, mobile
Example:
write base64Encode(pictureFileData) to socket thisSocket
Parameters:
data (string):
A string of binary data of any length.
Returns:
The <base64Encode> function <return|returns> a text <string>
representing the binary <data>.
Description:
Use the <base64Encode> function to <encode> <binary file|binary data>
for transmission over communication channels that don't accept raw
<binary file|binary data>.
The <base64Encode> function is the <inverse> of the <base64Decode>
<function>. The <encode|encoded> result is generally about a third
larger than the original data. The encoded string returned by
<base64Encode> <function> can include uppercase and lowercase letters,
digits, +, /, and =, but no other characters. Base 64-encoded data is
wrapped at 72 characters, so each <line> of the <encode|encoded> data is
72 <characters> or (for the last or only line) fewer. The base 64
encoding scheme is often used to encode binary data for MIME mail and
HTTP transfers.
For technical information about base 64 encoding, see [RFC 2045, section
6.8](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2045#section-6.8).
