What is Base64 Encoding?

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It is universally used in email protocols (MIME), data transfer over JSON APIs, and inlining small icons or fonts directly into CSS and HTML files to reduce HTTP server requests.
