Second:is there any interest in base64? I have a library for encoding and decoding, which I could contribute.

I think it'd be nice to have, I've needed it before.

According to this, Boost already has the parts, albeit possibly a bit hidden away: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7053538/how-do-i-encode-a-string-to-base6...

it doesn't do the padding with '=' Much worse is that it doesn't parse input with such padding correctly. This issue is so severe that IMO that thing should not be called base64, as it misleads new users.

As to the original post, having a good base64 implementation in boost would be great. пн, 15 мая 2017 г., 17:25 Robert Ramey via Boost :

Indeed, if one just googles boost base64 he'll find a large number of hits on pages which explain how to do this using the component in the serialization library. The only issue with the one in the serialization library is that as it stands, it doesn't do the padding with '=' because the serialization library doesn't need it. But the posts alluded to above demonstrate how to add this.

The serialization component which deals this is called "dataflow iterators" and the base64 component is just single usage case of this approach.

Hi, The documentation is here: http://www.multi.fi/~ghaga/base64docs/html/index.html There's only two functions in the library, one for encode and one for decode Done some testing and it is compatible with PHP's encode and decode of base64. tc Greger On 15.05.2017 18:34, Andrey Goryachev via Boost wrote:
