Thanks to JetBrains for supporting open source! + +It's base64. What more could anyone want? + +This library's goals are to be *correct* and *fast*. It's thoroughly tested and widely used. It exposes functionality at +multiple levels of abstraction so you can choose the level of convenience vs performance that you want, +e.g. `decode_engine_slice` decodes into an existing `&mut [u8]` and is pretty fast (2.6GiB/s for a 3 KiB input), +whereas `decode_engine` allocates a new `Vec` and returns it, which might be more convenient in some cases, but is +slower (although still fast enough for almost any purpose) at 2.1 GiB/s. + +See the [docs](https://docs.rs/base64) for all the details. + +## FAQ + +### I need to decode base64 with whitespace/null bytes/other random things interspersed in it. What should I do? + +Remove non-base64 characters from your input before decoding. + +If you have a `Vec` of base64, [retain](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/vec/struct.Vec.html#method.retain) can be used to +strip out whatever you need removed. + +If you have a `Read` (e.g. reading a file or network socket), there are various approaches. + +- Use [iter_read](https://crates.io/crates/iter-read) together with `Read`'s `bytes()` to filter out unwanted bytes. +- Implement `Read` with a `read()` impl that delegates to your actual `Read`, and then drops any bytes you don't want. + +### I need to line-wrap base64, e.g. for MIME/PEM. + +[line-wrap](https://crates.io/crates/line-wrap) does just that. + +### I want canonical base64 encoding/decoding. + +First, don't do this. You should no more expect Base64 to be canonical than you should expect compression algorithms to +produce canonical output across all usage in the wild (hint: they don't). +However, [people are drawn to their own destruction like moths to a flame](https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/361), so here we +are. + +There are two opportunities for non-canonical encoding (and thus, detection of the same during decoding): the final bits +of the last encoded token in two or three token suffixes, and the `=` token used to inflate the suffix to a full four +tokens. + +The trailing bits issue is unavoidable: with 6 bits available in each encoded token, 1 input byte takes 2 tokens, +with the second one having some bits unused. Same for two input bytes: 16 bits, but 3 tokens have 18 bits. Unless we +decide to stop shipping whole bytes around, we're stuck with those extra bits that a sneaky or buggy encoder might set +to 1 instead of 0. + +The `=` pad bytes, on the other hand, are entirely a self-own by the Base64 standard. They do not affect decoding other +than to provide an opportunity to say "that padding is incorrect". Exabytes of storage and transfer have no doubt been +wasted on pointless `=` bytes. Somehow we all seem to be quite comfortable with, say, hex-encoded data just stopping +when it's done rather than requiring a confirmation that the author of the encoder could count to four. Anyway, there +are two ways to make pad bytes predictable: require canonical padding to the next multiple of four bytes as per the RFC, +or, if you control all producers and consumers, save a few bytes by requiring no padding (especially applicable to the +url-safe alphabet). + +All `Engine` implementations must at a minimum support treating non-canonical padding of both types as an error, and +optionally may allow other behaviors. + +## Rust version compatibility + +The minimum supported Rust version is 1.48.0. + +# Contributing + +Contributions are very welcome. However, because this library is used widely, and in security-sensitive contexts, all +PRs will be carefully scrutinized. Beyond that, this sort of low level library simply needs to be 100% correct. Nobody +wants to chase bugs in encoding of any sort. + +All this means that it takes me a fair amount of time to review each PR, so it might take quite a while to carve out the +free time to give each PR the attention it deserves. I will get to everyone eventually! + +## Developing + +Benchmarks are in `benches/`. + +```bash +cargo bench +``` + +## no_std + +This crate supports no_std. By default the crate targets std via the `std` feature. You can deactivate +the `default-features` to target `core` instead. In that case you lose out on all the functionality revolving +around `std::io`, `std::error::Error`, and heap allocations. There is an additional `alloc` feature that you can activate +to bring back the support for heap allocations. + +## Profiling + +On Linux, you can use [perf](https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page) for profiling. Then compile the +benchmarks with `cargo bench --no-run`. + +Run the benchmark binary with `perf` (shown here filtering to one particular benchmark, which will make the results +easier to read). `perf` is only available to the root user on most systems as it fiddles with event counters in your +CPU, so use `sudo`. We need to run the actual benchmark binary, hence the path into `target`. You can see the actual +full path with `cargo bench -v`; it will print out the commands it runs. If you use the exact path +that `bench` outputs, make sure you get the one that's for the benchmarks, not the tests. You may also want +to `cargo clean` so you have only one `benchmarks-` binary (they tend to accumulate). + +```bash +sudo perf record target/release/deps/benchmarks-* --bench decode_10mib_reuse +``` + +Then analyze the results, again with perf: + +```bash +sudo perf annotate -l +``` + +You'll see a bunch of interleaved rust source and assembly like this. The section with `lib.rs:327` is telling us that +4.02% of samples saw the `movzbl` aka bit shift as the active instruction. However, this percentage is not as exact as +it seems due to a phenomenon called *skid*. Basically, a consequence of how fancy modern CPUs are is that this sort of +instruction profiling is inherently inaccurate, especially in branch-heavy code. + +```text + lib.rs:322 0.70 : 10698: mov %rdi,%rax + 2.82 : 1069b: shr $0x38,%rax + : if morsel == decode_tables::INVALID_VALUE { + : bad_byte_index = input_index; + : break; + : }; + : accum = (morsel as u64) << 58; + lib.rs:327 4.02 : 1069f: movzbl (%r9,%rax,1),%r15d + : // fast loop of 8 bytes at a time + : while input_index < length_of_full_chunks { + : let mut accum: u64; + : + : let input_chunk = BigEndian::read_u64(&input_bytes[input_index..(input_index + 8)]); + : morsel = decode_table[(input_chunk >> 56) as usize]; + lib.rs:322 3.68 : 106a4: cmp $0xff,%r15 + : if morsel == decode_tables::INVALID_VALUE { + 0.00 : 106ab: je 1090e +``` + +## Fuzzing + +This uses [cargo-fuzz](https://github.com/rust-fuzz/cargo-fuzz).
