base64

Documentation

Overview

Package base64 implements base64 encoding/decoding stripping any = used for padding, thus producing invalid base64 but saving a few bytes. It's mainly used for encoding values in other parts of gondola (like gnd.la/cookies), but you can feel free to use its functions. Just keep in mind that any value encoded with Encode() must be decoded with Decode(), rather than with the standard encoding/base64 package.

Functions

func Decode

func Decode(src string) ([]byte, error)

Decode decodes the given string into a []byte using base64 URL encoding. The string does not need to be correctly padded.

func Encode

func Encode(src []byte) string

Encode encodes the given []byte into a base64 string, using URL encoding and removing any = character used for padding.
