Base64 Encoding

This is part of GeneXusCryptography Module Encoders. It encodes and decodes the Base64 representation of characters on Strings. It is based on Bouncy Castle Base64 Encoder

Base64Encoder

ToBase64

Base64Encoder.ToBase64(text)

• Input: VarChar(9999) plain text
• Returns: VarChar(9999) Base64 encoded

Receives a  plain text and returns the Base64 encoded representation of that text.

It uses UTF-8 by default unless CryptographyEncodingUtil is used.

Example: 

&base64Text = &Base64Encoder.ToBase64("hello world")

ToPlainText

Base64Encoder.ToPlainText(base64Text)

• Input: VarChar(9999) Base64 encoded
• Returns: VarChar(9999) plain text

Receives a Base64 encoded text and returns the UTF-8 encoded plain text representation of that text.

It uses UTF-8 by default unless CryptographyEncodingUtil is used.

Example:

&plainText = &Base64Encoder.ToPlainText("aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=")

ToStringHexa

Base64Encoder.ToStringHexa(base64Text)

• Input: VarChar(9999) Base64 encoded text
• Returns: VarChar(9999) hexadecimal representation of a text

Receives a Base64 encoded text and returns the hexadecimal representation of that text.

Example:

&hexaText = &Base64Encoder.ToStringHexa("aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ")

FromStringHexaToBase64

Base64Encoder.ToStringHexaToBase64(stringHexa)

• Input: VarChar(9999) hexadecimal representation of a text
• Returns: VarChar(9999) Base64 encoded text

Recieves the hexadecimal representation of a text and returns the base64 encoded text.

Example:

&base64Text = &Base64Encoder.ToStringHexaToBase64("68656C6C6F20776F726C64")
