I think you'd find it interesting to see how the serialization library does it.
../boost/archive/iterators/base64_from_binary ../boost/archive/iterators/binary_from_base64
Yes, Robert. :-) I took theese iterators (and 'transform_width') and wrap them in one simple and ready-to-use solution. Simple and ready-to-use even for novices. I need a such solution, for this common task. And I definetly know many developers looking for such solution. Solution they can use immediately, without long studying the documentation. Just few lines of code: int main() { std::string text = "TEXT"; std::string encoded = boost::base64().encode( text ); std::string text_again = boost::base64().decode< std::string >( encoded ); } You think such (or similar) solution is not needed for Boost? Well, probably it is not needed, but I think it's useful. If not - I apologize for troubling. - Denis
