What is Base64?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme. It represents binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation. It is commonly used to embed image data directly into HTML/CSS or to transmit complex data over media that are designed to deal with textual data.
Common Use Cases:
- Embedding small images (Data URIs) in CSS.
- Encoding API credentials (Basic Auth).
- Transmitting binary files via Email (MIME).
- Hiding simple text data from casual view (not encryption!).
