//! # Getting started //! //! 1. Perhaps one of the preconfigured engines in [engine::general_purpose] will suit, e.g. //! [engine::general_purpose::STANDARD_NO_PAD]. //! - These are re-exported in [prelude] with a `BASE64_` prefix for those who prefer to //! `use base64::prelude::*` or equivalent, e.g. [prelude::BASE64_STANDARD_NO_PAD] //! 1. If not, choose which alphabet you want. Most usage will want [alphabet::STANDARD] or [alphabet::URL_SAFE]. //! 1. Choose which [Engine] implementation you want. For the moment there is only one: [engine::GeneralPurpose]. //! 1. Configure the engine appropriately using the engine's `Config` type. //! - This is where you'll select whether to add padding (when encoding) or expect it (when //! decoding). If given the choice, prefer no padding. //! 1. Build the engine using the selected alphabet and config. //! //! For more detail, see below. //! //! ## Alphabets //! //! An [alphabet::Alphabet] defines what ASCII symbols are used to encode to or decode from. //! //! Constants in [alphabet] like [alphabet::STANDARD] or [alphabet::URL_SAFE] provide commonly used //! alphabets, but you can also build your own custom [alphabet::Alphabet] if needed. //! //! ## Engines //! //! Once you have an `Alphabet`, you can pick which `Engine` you want. A few parts of the public //! API provide a default, but otherwise the user must provide an `Engine` to use. //! //! See [Engine] for more. //! //! ## Config //! //! In addition to an `Alphabet`, constructing an `Engine` also requires an [engine::Config]. Each //! `Engine` has a corresponding `Config` implementation since different `Engine`s may offer different //! levels of configurability. //! //! # Encoding //! //! Several different encoding methods on [Engine] are available to you depending on your desire for //! convenience vs performance. //! //! | Method | Output | Allocates | //! | ------------------------ | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------ | //! | [Engine::encode] | Returns a new `String` | Always | //! | [Engine::encode_string] | Appends to provided `String` | Only if `String` needs to grow | //! | [Engine::encode_slice] | Writes to provided `&[u8]` | Never - fastest | //! //! All of the encoding methods will pad as per the engine's config. //! //! # Decoding //! //! Just as for encoding, there are different decoding methods available. //! //! | Method | Output | Allocates | //! | ------------------------ | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------ | //! | [Engine::decode] | Returns a new `Vec` | Always | //! | [Engine::decode_vec] | Appends to provided `Vec` | Only if `Vec` needs to grow | //! | [Engine::decode_slice] | Writes to provided `&[u8]` | Never - fastest | //! //! Unlike encoding, where all possible input is valid, decoding can fail (see [DecodeError]). //! //! Input can be invalid because it has invalid characters or invalid padding. The nature of how //! padding is checked depends on the engine's config. //! Whitespace in the input is invalid, just like any other non-base64 byte. //! //! # `Read` and `Write` //! //! To decode a [std::io::Read] of b64 bytes, wrap a reader (file, network socket, etc) with //! [read::DecoderReader]. //! //! To write raw bytes and have them b64 encoded on the fly, wrap a [std::io::Write] with //! [write::EncoderWriter]. //! //! There is some performance overhead (15% or so) because of the necessary buffer shuffling -- //! still fast enough that almost nobody cares. Also, these implementations do not heap allocate. //! //! # `Display` //! //! See [display] for how to transparently base64 data via a `Display` implementation. //! //! # Examples //! //! ## Using predefined engines //! #![cfg_attr(feature = "alloc", doc = "```")] #![cfg_attr(not(feature = "alloc"), doc = "```ignore")] //! use base64::{Engine as _, engine::general_purpose}; //! //! let orig = b"data"; //! let encoded: String = general_purpose::STANDARD_NO_PAD.encode(orig); //! assert_eq!("ZGF0YQ", encoded); //! assert_eq!(orig.as_slice(), &general_purpose::STANDARD_NO_PAD.decode(encoded).unwrap()); //! //! // or, URL-safe //! let encoded_url = general_purpose::URL_SAFE_NO_PAD.encode(orig); //! ``` //! //! ## Custom alphabet, config, and engine //! #![cfg_attr(feature = "alloc", doc = "```")] #![cfg_attr(not(feature = "alloc"), doc = "```ignore")] //! use base64::{engine, alphabet, Engine as _}; //! //! // bizarro-world base64: +/ as the first symbols instead of the last //! let alphabet = //! alphabet::Alphabet::new("+/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789") //! .unwrap(); //! //! // a very weird config that encodes with padding but requires no padding when decoding...? //! let crazy_config = engine::GeneralPurposeConfig::new() //! .with_decode_allow_trailing_bits(true) //! .with_encode_padding(true) //! .with_decode_padding_mode(engine::DecodePaddingMode::RequireNone); //! //! let crazy_engine = engine::GeneralPurpose::new(&alphabet, crazy_config); //! //! let encoded = crazy_engine.encode(b"abc 123"); //! //! ``` //! //! # Panics //! //! If length calculations result in overflowing `usize`, a panic will result. #![cfg_attr(feature = "cargo-clippy", allow(clippy::cast_lossless))] #![deny( missing_docs, trivial_casts, trivial_numeric_casts, unused_extern_crates, unused_import_braces, unused_results, variant_size_differences, warnings )] #![forbid(unsafe_code)] // Allow globally until https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/8768 is resolved. // The desired state is to allow it only for the rstest_reuse import. #![allow(clippy::single_component_path_imports)] #![cfg_attr(not(any(feature = "std", test)), no_std)] #[cfg(any(feature = "alloc", test))] extern crate alloc; // has to be included at top level because of the way rstest_reuse defines its macros #[cfg(test)] use rstest_reuse; mod chunked_encoder; pub mod display; #[cfg(any(feature = "std", test))] pub mod read; #[cfg(any(feature = "std", test))] pub mod write; pub mod engine; pub use engine::Engine; pub mod alphabet; mod encode; #[allow(deprecated)] #[cfg(any(feature = "alloc", test))] pub use crate::encode::{encode, encode_engine, encode_engine_string}; #[allow(deprecated)] pub use crate::encode::{encode_engine_slice, encoded_len, EncodeSliceError}; mod decode; #[allow(deprecated)] #[cfg(any(feature = "alloc", test))] pub use crate::decode::{decode, decode_engine, decode_engine_vec}; #[allow(deprecated)] pub use crate::decode::{decode_engine_slice, decoded_len_estimate, DecodeError, DecodeSliceError}; pub mod prelude; #[cfg(test)] mod tests; const PAD_BYTE: u8 = b'=';
