About Base64 Encoding

Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation.

Why use Base64?

**Email Transmission:** Sending binary attachments (images, PDFs) via text-based protocols like SMTP.
**Data embedding:** Embedding small images directly into HTML or CSS files to reduce HTTP requests.
**Legacy Systems:** Ensuring data integrity when storing complex data in systems that only support basic ASCII characters.

Safe for URL?

Standard Base64 uses + and / characters, which may not be safe for URLs. For URLs, a variant called "Base64URL" is often used where + is replaced by - and / by _.
