Base64 Encoders

Base64 encoding is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format.

base64

Aliases: base64-encode

Standard Base64 encoding with padding.

Usage

echo "hello" | eoyc -e "base64"
# Output: aGVsbG8=

Example

echo "test data" | eoyc -e "base64"
# Output: dGVzdCBkYXRh

base64-decode

Decode Base64 encoded strings back to original text.

Usage

echo "aGVsbG8=" | eoyc -e "base64-decode"
# Output: hello

Example

echo "dGVzdCBkYXRh" | eoyc -e "base64-decode"
# Output: test data

base64-url

Aliases: base64-url-encode

URL-safe Base64 encoding without padding. Uses - and _ instead of + and / to be URL-safe.

Usage

echo "hello world" | eoyc -e "base64-url"
# Output: aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ

Use Cases

• Encoding data for URLs and filenames
• JWT tokens
• Web-safe data transmission

base64-url-decode

Decode URL-safe Base64 encoded strings.

Usage

echo "aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ" | eoyc -e "base64-url-decode"
# Output: hello world

Chaining with Base64

Base64 encoders work well in chains:

# Encode then hash
echo "data" | eoyc -e "base64>md5"

# Hash then encode
echo "data" | eoyc -e "sha256>base64"
