decode()

std::optional< std::vector< std::uint8_t > > base64pp::decode

(

std::string_view const

encoded_str

)

Decodes a base64 encoded string, returning an optional blob. If the decoding fails, it returns std::nullopt.

Parameters

encoded_str

- the base64 encoded string

Returns

an optional containing a valid blob of data, if decoding was successful. Otherwise, returns std::nullopt

Note

this function accepts unpadded strings, if they are valid otherwise. It rejects odd-sized unpadded strings.

encode()

std::string base64pp::encode

(

std::span< std::uint8_t const > const

input

)

This function will encode a blob of data into a base64 string.

Parameters

input

- a span pointing to a binary blob to encode.

Returns

a base64 string containing the encoded data.
