Base64 encoding/decoding

BASE64 encoding/decoding is a method of encoding binary data into ASCII text format which is safer and more widely accepted for transferring and storing data. This encoding process involves splitting data into 6-bit blocks, which are then represented as characters that are a subset of the ASCII characters. This results in a text format that is more suitable for transmitting and saving data across different platforms and systems. Decoding BASE64 data is the process of converting the encoded data back into its original binary form.
