Base64

    Return a new write-only I/O stream, which converts any bytes written to it into base64-encoded ASCII bytes written to ostream. Calling close on the Base64EncodePipe stream is necessary to complete the encoding (but does not close ostream).

    Examples

    1. julia> io = IOBuffer();
    3. julia> iob64_encode = Base64EncodePipe(io);
    5. julia> write(iob64_encode, "Hello!")
    6. 6
    8. julia> close(iob64_encode);
    10. julia> str = String(take!(io))
    11. "SGVsbG8h"
    12. julia> String(base64decode(str))
    13. "Hello!"

    Given a write-like function writefunc, which takes an I/O stream as its first argument, base64encode(writefunc, args...) calls writefunc to write to a base64-encoded string, and returns the string. base64encode(args...) is equivalent to base64encode(write, args...): it converts its arguments into bytes using the standard functions and returns the base64-encoded string.

    See also base64decode.

    1. Base64DecodePipe(istream)

    Return a new read-only I/O stream, which decodes base64-encoded data read from istream.

    Examples

    1. julia> io = IOBuffer();
    3. julia> iob64_decode = Base64DecodePipe(io);
    5. julia> write(io, "SGVsbG8h")
    6. 8
    8. julia> seekstart(io);

    Examples

    1. julia> b = base64decode("SGVsbG8h")
    2. 6-element Array{UInt8,1}:
    3.  0x48
    4.  0x65
    5.  0x6c
    6.  0x6c
    7.  0x6f
    8.  0x21
    10. julia> String(b)
    11. "Hello!"

    source

      Returns an AbstractString containing the representation of x in the requested mime type. This is similar to except that binary data is base64-encoded as an ASCII string.

      The optional keyword argument context can be set to :key=>value pair or an IO or object whose attributes are used for the I/O stream passed to .
