Base64 Encoder in Python
· 3 min read
Think of Base64 as a translator. It takes binary data - the raw Os and 1s that computers understand - and converts it into a squence of printable ASCII characters. Why? because some systems are designed to handle text-based data ore reliably than raw binary. Imagine trying to send an image as a series of raw bytes through an email system that expects text! That's where Base64 comes to rescue.
