# std.base64

Encoding / Decoding Base64 format.

Implemented according to RFC 4648 - The Base16.

Example:

    ubyte[] data = [0x14, 0xfb, 0x9c, 0x03, 0xd9, 0x7e];

    const(char)[] encoded = Base64.encode(data);
    assert(encoded == "FPucA9l+");

    ubyte[] decoded = Base64.decode("FPucA9l+");
    assert(decoded == [0x14, 0xfb, 0x9c, 0x03, 0xd9, 0x7e]);

Support Range interface using Encoder / Decoder.

Example:

    // Create MIME Base64 with CRLF, per line 76.
    File f = File("./text.txt", "r");
    scope(exit) f.close();

    Appender!string mime64 = appender!string;

    foreach (encoded; Base64.encoder(f.byChunk(57)))
    {
        mime64.put(encoded);
        mime64.put("\r\n");
    }

    writeln(mime64.data);

  Encoder!Range encoder(Range)(Range range) if (isInputRange!Range);
    Iterates through an InputRange at a time by using Encoder.

    Default Encoder encodes chunk data.

    Example:

  Decoder!Range decoder(Range)(Range range) if (isInputRange!Range);
    Iterates through an InputRange at a time by using Decoder.

    Default Decoder decodes chunk data.

    Example:

        foreach (decoded; Base64.decoder(stdin.byLine()))
        {
            writeln(decoded);
        }

    In addition, You can use Decoder that returns decoded single character. This Decoder performs Range-based and lazy decoding.

    Example:

        auto encoded = Base64.encoder(cast(ubyte[])"0123456789");
        foreach (n; map!q{a - '0'}(Base64.decoder(encoded)))
        {
            writeln(n);
        }

    If you use ByChunk, chunk-size should be the multiple of 4. Decoder can't judge a encode-boundary.

    Parameters:

    Range range | an InputRange to iterate.

    Returns:
    a Decoder object instantiated and initialized according to the arguments.

class Base64Exception: object.Exception;
