Learn about the methods and standards of encoding binary data in plain text, such as Base64, Base32, and Base58. Compare the efficiency, programming language implementations, and uses of different binary-to-text encodings.
Base64 is a group of schemes that transforms binary data into a sequence of 64 printable characters. It is used to carry data across channels that only support text, such as the World Wide Web and e-mail.
Binary code is a system of representing text, instructions or data using two symbols, usually 0 and 1. Learn about the origin of binary code, its applications in computing and telecommunications, and other forms of binary code such as Braille and bagua.
Base62 uses 62 characters to represent binary data in an ASCII string format. It is similar to base64, but with a different set of characters and a different index table.
uuencoding is a binary-to-text encoding for email and Usenet, invented by Mary Ann Horton in 1980. It encodes data into 64-character alphabet, with each character representing a radix-64 digit of the original data.
Ascii85, also called Base85, is a form of binary-to-text encoding that uses five ASCII characters to represent four bytes of data. It is more efficient than uuencode or Base64, and is used in PostScript, PDF and Git formats.
Base36 is a way of representing binary data in an ASCII string format using the digits 0-9 and the letters A-Z. Learn how base36 works, how to convert between different bases, and which programming languages support it.
Baudot code is an early character encoding for telegraphy invented by Émile Baudot in the 1870s. It was the predecessor to the International Telegraph Alphabet No. 2 (ITA2), the most common teleprinter code in use before ASCII.
