Base64 is a group of schemes that transforms binary data into a sequence of 64 printable characters. Learn the design, alphabet, examples, and variants of Base64, and how it is used for data transfer and web applications.
Binary translation is a form of binary recompilation where sequences of instructions are translated from a source instruction set to the target instruction set. It can be done in hardware or software, and it can be static or dynamic, depending on when and how the translation occurs.
Learn about different methods of encoding binary data in plain text, such as Base58, Base64, Base32, and more. Compare their efficiency, programming language implementations, and uses in various systems and protocols.
yEnc is a binary-to-text encoding scheme for transferring binary files in messages on Usenet or via e-mail.It reduces the overhead over previous US-ASCII-based encoding methods by using an 8-bit encoding method. yEnc's overhead is often (if each byte value appears approximately with the same frequency on average) as little as 1–2%, [1] compared to 33–40% overhead for 6-bit encoding methods ...
SREC is a file format for conveying binary information as hex values in ASCII text form. It is commonly used for programming flash memory in microcontrollers and other devices. S19 is one of the variants of SREC, with 16-bit address and data fields.
A binary file is a computer file that is not a text file, and contains bytes that are intended to be interpreted as something other than text characters. Learn about the structure, manipulation, viewing and interpretation of binary files, and the standards and compatibility issues involved.
