About The Project

I have created a library for people who simply need to encode and decode data to and from Base64 with a straightforward API. The purpose of this library is to reduce the time between when a person discovers the library and when they start using it. Additionally, the aim is to avoid burdening the project with extra dependencies and increasing compilation time.

Getting Started

Just add new dependencie in your Cargo.toml file.

  • Cargo.toml
    [dependencies]
    easy_base64 = "0.1"
    

Usage

use easy_base64::{decode, encode};

fn main() {
    let decoded_b64 = decode(b"U3U=");
    println!("Decoded: {}", String::from_utf8(decoded_b64).unwrap());

    let encoded_b64 = encode(b"Su");
    println!("Encoded: {}", encoded_b64);

    // if you have String
    let decoded_b64 = decode(String::from("U3U=").as_bytes());
    println!("Decoded: {}", String::from_utf8(decoded_b64).unwrap());

    let encoded_b64 = encode(String::from("Su").as_bytes());
    println!("Encoded: {}", encoded_b64);
}

Why encode return a String, but decode return a bytes?

Because base64 encoded the result always contains valid printable string symbols. But if was encoded binary data, then decode result not will be valid string.
