encoding decoding Base64

Hi,

I have the impression to miss something simple.

I want to encode and decode a ByteArray into and from a Base64 encoded string.

However I don't manage to do the reverse operation.

#[48 238 8 17] asBase64String gives: 'MO4IEQ=='

However

'MO4IEQ==' asByteArrayEncoding: 'Base64'. gives: #[84 85 56 48 83 85 86 82 80 84 48 61]

What do I do wrong ?

Regards,

Maarten MOSTERT

Re: encoding decoding Base64

Hi Maarten,

both times you use methods to encode. Try this instead:
ByteArray fromBase64String: 'MO4IEQ==' (gives #[48 238 8 17])

'MO4IEQ==' asByteArrayEncoding: 'Base64'.
is the same as
'MO4IEQ==' asByteArray asBase64String asByteArray.
using the same asBase64String method in both your examples.

Re: encoding decoding Base64

Dear Maarten,
you can also use the Base64FastCoder class if you wish (in
Protocols-Common), via class-side methods #encodeAsBase64String:,
#encodeAsBase64ByteArray: and #decodeBase64Encoded:.

This is no different from what Ralf mentioned except that it is faster,
but it does not expect or provide any email-usage-style linebreaks.

Yours faithfully
Niall Ross

Re: encoding decoding Base64

Hello Nial,

Thanks this is cool, because now I can subclass Base64FastCoder to make the thing I actually wanted which is a Base64URL encoder / decoder as described here: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64
