base64

Base64 encode / decode between binary and text Luau strings (standard RFC 4648 alphabet, padded).

require("@builtin::modules.api.engine.base64") -- base64 (also available as global 'base64')

The base64 namespace: 6 functions.

globals/base64/decode

base64.decode(text: string) -> (string?, string?)

Decode standard-alphabet base64 text back to the original binary string.

Parameters

• text string — Base64 text to decode.

Returns (string?, string?) decoded bytes on success, or (nil, errmsg).

local bytes = base64.decode(encoded)

globals/base64/encode

base64.encode(bytes: buffer | string) -> string

Encode a binary string to standard-alphabet (padded) base64 text.

Parameters

• bytes buffer | string — Binary bytes to encode.

Returns string — Base64 text.

local text = base64.encode(jpegBytes)

modules/base64/decode

decode(text: string): (string?, string?)

Decode standard-alphabet base64 text back to the original binary string.

Parameters

• text string — Base64 text to decode.

local bytes = base64.decode(encoded)

modules/base64/encode

encode(bytes: buffer | string): string

Encode a binary string to standard-alphabet (padded) base64 text.

Parameters

• bytes buffer | string — Binary bytes to encode.

local text = base64.encode(jpegBytes)

typed/builtin//modules/api/engine/base64/base64/decode

base64.decode(text: string) -> (string?, string?)

Decode standard-alphabet base64 text back to the original binary string.

Parameters

• text string — Base64 text to decode.

Returns (string?, string?) decoded bytes on success, or (nil, errmsg).

local bytes = base64.decode(encoded)

typed/builtin//modules/api/engine/base64/base64/encode

base64.encode(bytes: buffer | string) -> string

Encode a binary string to standard-alphabet (padded) base64 text.

Parameters

• bytes buffer | string — Binary bytes to encode.

Returns string — Base64 text.

local text = base64.encode(jpegBytes)
