= rBASE64 Library for Arduino =
Real Base64 library is a speed optimized flexible implementations of BASE64
Encoding and Decoding logic.
There are native as well as object oriented functions.
Here is the List of the Native Functions for those who want more Control:
- `size_t rbase64_encode(char *output, char *input, size_t inputLen)`
This function helps to Encode the Stream of Bytes provided at the *input* to *output*
User needs to ensure that that the Output buffer is adequacy sized.
- `size_t rbase64_decode(char *output, char *input, size_t inputLen)`
This function helps to Decode the Stream ob Bytes provided at the *input* to *output*
User needs to ensure that that the Output buffer is adequacy sized.
- `size_t rbase64_enc_len(size_t inputLen)`
This function can be used to ascertain the maximum size of buffer needed to accommodate
the converted BASE64 output
- `size_t rbase64_dec_len(char *input, size_t inputLen)`
This function can be used to find out the maximum size of the buffer needed to accommodate
the converted original string from BASE64
Here is the List of the OO Function in `rbase64` class:
- `String rBASE64::encode(uint8_t *data, size_t length)` - For Direct byte Stream
- `String rBASE64::encode(char *data)` - For NULL Terminated character Array as shown in the **Example Below**
- `String rBASE64::encode(String text)` - String containing the source
Function to Convert into BASE64 encoded string else returns the string `"-FAIL"`
- `String rBASE64::decode(uint8_t *data, size_t length)` - For Direct byte Stream
- `String rBASE64::decode(char *data)` - For NULL Terminated character Array as shown in the **Example Below**
- `String rBASE64::decode(String text)` - String containing the source
Function to Convert back from BASE64 encoding else returns the string `"-FAIL"`
== Example ==
```arduino
#include <rBase64.h>
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
}
void loop() {
Serial.println(rbase64.encode("Hello There, I am doing Good."));
Serial.println(rbase64.decode("SGVsbG8gVGhlcmUsIEkgYW0gZG9pbmcgR29vZC4="));
delay(2000);
}
```
=== Tip : How to test base64 in Python ===
At the Python terminal prompt (get this by executing `python.exe` on *Windows* or `python` on *Linux* terminal) :
```python
>>> import base64
>>> base64.b64encode("Hello There, I am doing Good.")
'SGVsbG8gVGhlcmUsIEkgYW0gZG9pbmcgR29vZC4='
>>> base64.b64decode("SGVsbG8gVGhlcmUsIEkgYW0gZG9pbmcgR29vZC4=")
'Hello There, I am doing Good.'
>>>
```
This way one can also verify other strings.
=== Dependencies ===
WString Library
Thread Safe: No
Extendable: Yes
=== Limitations ===
==== OO Implementation Limits:
- Can't take Encodeing strings more than "70 Characters".
- Can't Decode the BASE64 strings beyond "100 Characters".
- Memory usage is approximately 280Bytes in RAM.
==== The Native Implementation has no such Limiations.
