Base64 Field Encoder

Supported pipeline types:

  • Data Collector
The Base64 Field Encoder encodes binary data using Base64. Use the processor to encode binary data that must be sent over channels that expect ASCII data.

For example, you can use Base64 encoding to embed image data directly in HTML source code. When you encode the data, you prevent characters such as “<” and “>” from being interpreted as tags.

When you configure Base64 Field Encoder, you specify the byte array field to encode and the target byte array field to pass the encoded value to. You can also specify that the processor encode the data so that it can be safely sent in a URL.
