Base64 encoding can be helpful when fairly lengthy identifying information is used in an HTTP environment. For example, a database persistence framework for Java objects might use Base64 encoding to encode a relatively large unique id (generally 128-bit UUIDs) into a string for use as an HTTP parameter in HTTP forms or HTTP GET URLs. Also, many ...
Some older and today uncommon formats include BOO, BTOA, and USR encoding. Most of these encodings generate text containing only a subset of all ASCII printable characters: for example, the base64 encoding generates text that only contains upper case and lower case letters, (A–Z, a–z), numerals (0–9), and the "+", "/", and "=" symbols.
<string> UTF-8 encoded string NSNumber: CFNumber <real>, <integer> Decimal string; reals can have exponents, or be Infinity (inf) or NaN (nan). NSNumber: CFBoolean <true/>, <false/> No data (tag only) NSDate: CFDate <date> ISO 8601 formatted string NSData: CFData <data> Base64 encoded data NSArray: CFArray <array> Can contain any number of ...
UTF-8-encoded, preceded by varint-encoded integer length of string in bytes Repeated value with the same tag or, for varint-encoded integers only, values packed contiguously and prefixed by tag and total byte length — Smile \x21
A tag of 2 indicates that the following byte string encodes an unsigned bignum. A tag of 32 indicates that the following text string is a URI as defined in RFC 3986. RFC 8746 defines tags 64–87 to encode homogeneous arrays of fixed-size integer or floating-point values as byte strings. The tag 55799 is allocated to mean "CBOR data follows".
The resulting string is encoded using a variant of Base64 (+/ and with padding). The authorization method and a space character (e.g. "Basic ") is then prepended to the encoded string. For example, if the browser uses Aladdin as the username and open sesame as the password, then the field's value is the Base64 encoding of Aladdin:open sesame ...
Number - 0x00 (Encoded as IEEE 64-bit double-precision floating point number) Boolean - 0x01 (Encoded as a single byte of value 0x00 or 0x01) String - 0x02 (16-bit integer string length with UTF-8 string) Object - 0x03 (Set of key/value pairs) Null - 0x05; ECMA Array - 0x08 (32-bit entry count) Object End - 0x09 (preceded by an empty 16-bit ...
Quoted-Printable and Base64 are the two MIME content transfer encodings, if the trivial "7bit" and "8bit" encoding are not counted. If the text to be encoded does not contain many non-ASCII characters, then Quoted-Printable results in a fairly readable [1] and compact encoded result. On the other hand, if the input has many 8-bit characters ...
