Fast Base64 implementation
==========================

|license-status| |pypi-status| |python-versions| |rtd-status| |gha-status| |codecov-status|

This project is a wrapper on `libbase64 <https://github.com/aklomp/base64>`_.

It aims to provide a fast base64 implementation for base64 encoding/decoding.

Installation
============

.. code::

    pip install pybase64

Usage
=====

``pybase64`` uses the same API as Python base64 "modern interface" (introduced in Python 2.4) for an easy integration.

To get the fastest decoding, it is recommended to use the ``pybase64.b64decode`` and ``validate=True`` when possible.

.. code:: python

    import pybase64

    print(pybase64.b64encode(b'>>>foo???', altchars='_:'))
    # b'Pj4_Zm9vPz8:'
    print(pybase64.b64decode(b'Pj4_Zm9vPz8:', altchars='_:', validate=True))
    # b'>>>foo???'

    # Standard encoding helpers
    print(pybase64.standard_b64encode(b'>>>foo???'))
    # b'Pj4+Zm9vPz8/'
    print(pybase64.standard_b64decode(b'Pj4+Zm9vPz8/'))
    # b'>>>foo???'

    # URL safe encoding helpers
    print(pybase64.urlsafe_b64encode(b'>>>foo???'))
    # b'Pj4-Zm9vPz8_'
    print(pybase64.urlsafe_b64decode(b'Pj4-Zm9vPz8_'))
    # b'>>>foo???'

.. begin cli

A command-line tool is also provided. It has encode, decode and benchmark subcommands.

.. code::

    usage: pybase64 [-h] [-V] {benchmark,encode,decode} ...

    pybase64 command-line tool.

    positional arguments:
      {benchmark,encode,decode}
                            tool help
        benchmark           -h for usage
        encode              -h for usage
        decode              -h for usage

    optional arguments:
      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
      -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
