Unpadded Base64
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
*Unpadded* Base64 refers to 'standard' Base64 encoding as defined in `RFC
|
|
4648`_, without "=" padding. Specifically, where RFC 4648 requires that encoded
|
|
data be padded to a multiple of four characters using ``=`` characters,
|
|
unpadded Base64 omits this padding.
|
|
|
|
For reference, RFC 4648 uses the following alphabet for Base 64::

Examples of strings encoded using unpadded Base64::
|
|
|
|
UNPADDED_BASE64("") = ""
|
|
UNPADDED_BASE64("f") = "Zg"
|
|
UNPADDED_BASE64("fo") = "Zm8"
|
|
UNPADDED_BASE64("foo") = "Zm9v"
|
|
UNPADDED_BASE64("foob") = "Zm9vYg"
|
|
UNPADDED_BASE64("fooba") = "Zm9vYmE"
|
|
UNPADDED_BASE64("foobar") = "Zm9vYmFy"
|
|
|
|
When decoding Base64, implementations SHOULD accept input with or without
|
|
padding characters wherever possible, to ensure maximum interoperability.
