Crypt::Sodium::XS::Base64 - libsodium base64 functions and constants

SYNOPSIS

use Crypt::Sodium::XS::Base64 ':all';

my $b64 = sodium_bin2base64("foobar");
my $bin = sodium_base642bin($b64);
print "$bin\n";
# foobar
my $orig_b64 = sodium_bin2base64("barfoo", BASE64_VARIANT_ORIGINAL);
print sodium_base642bin($orig_b64);
# barfoo

DESCRIPTION

Provides access to the libsodium-provided base64 functions and constants. IMPROVEME.

NOTE: These functions are not intended for use with sensitive data. Crypt::Sodium::XS::MemVault provides much of the same functionality for use with sensitive data.

FUNCTIONS

Nothing is exported by default. The tag :functions imports all "FUNCTIONS". The tag :all imports everything.

sodium_base642bin

my $bytes = sodium_base642bin($string);

No real advantage over MIME::Base64. Stops parsing at any invalid base64 bytes. $bytes will be empty if $string could not be validly interpreted as base64 (i.e., if the output would not be a multiple of 8 bits).

Returns the base64 decoded bytes.

sodium_bin2base64

my $string = sodium_bin2base64($bytes);
my $string = sodium_bin2base64($bytes, $variant);

$variant is optional. See "BASE64 CONSTANTS". If not provided, the default is "BASE64_VARIANT_URLSAFE_NO_PADDING".

Returns the base64 encoded string.

CONSTANTS

Nothing is exported by default. The tag :constants imports all "CONSTANTS". The tag :all imports everything.

BASE64_VARIANT_ORIGINAL

RFC 4648 Base 64 Encoding.

BASE64_VARIANT_ORIGINAL_NO_PADDING

RFC 4648 Base 64 Encoding without = padding.

BASE64_VARIANT_URLSAFE

RFC 4648 Base 64 Encoding with URL and Filename Safe Alphabet.

BASE64_VARIANT_URLSAFE_NO_PADDING

RFC 4648 Base 64 Encoding with URL and Filename Safe Alphabet without = padding.
