Codec.Base64
Description
This module provides access to the "base64" binary-to-text encoding as defined by RFC 4648.
This module is intended to be imported qualified, e.g.
import qualified Codec.Base64 as B64
If you want to explictly specify which Encode and Decode typeclass instance is used, you can use plain Haskell2010 type-signature annotations, e.g.
>>>(B64.encode :: ByteString -> Text) "\x00\x00""AAA="
>>>(B64.decode :: Text -> Either String ShortByteString) "NDoyMA=="Right "4:20"
Alternatively, starting with GHC 8.0.1, you can also use the TypeApplications language extension:
>>>B64.encode @ShortByteString @Text "\xFF\239""/+8="
>>>B64.decode @Text @ShortByteString "/+8="Right "\255\239"
Since: 0.1.0.0
