What is Base64?
Base64 is an encoding scheme for converting binary data to ASCII strings. Common uses:
- Transmitting binary data in URLs or emails
- Embedding image data in JSON or XML
- Encoding credentials (though it's not encryption)
- HTTP Basic Authentication encoding
Warning: Base64 is an encoding method, not encryption. Do not use it to protect sensitive data.
