What is Base64?

Base64 is a way to encode binary data into text, making it easier to store and transfer. It works by converting binary data into a radix-64 representation, using an ASCII string format. The name "Base64" comes from a specific MIME content transfer encoding.

Base64 is commonly used in scenarios where binary data needs to be transmitted over systems designed for text, such as emails or XML documents. This ensures the data remains intact during transport. You’ll often see Base64 in applications like email attachments, web storage, and encoding complex data into XML or JSON.
