Base64

Encode and decode text using Base64 encoding.

The extension defines two actions:

  • Base64 Encode: Enabled for all text inputs. It is actually a two-stage process: the text is first encoded to bytes using UTF-8 encoding, and then the bytes are encoded in Base64.

  • Base64 Decode: Enabled for inputs which only contain Base64-legal characters. Decoding is the reverse of encoding. If the decoded bytes are not valid UTF-8, the action will fail and show an 'X'.

The extenson has the following options:

  • Base64 Variant: Choose from Standard or URL Safe. In the URL Safe variant, the + and / characters are mapped to - and _ when encoding. (Default: Standard)

  • Trim = padding: Whether to trim off any trailing = or == padding after encoding. (Default: yes)

The decode action will accept both Standard and URL Safe variants, with or without = padding.
