dnsjit.lib.base64url(3)

💖 dnsjit.lib.base64url — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, you're reading the page for dnsjit.lib.base64url, which lives in the Library Functions Manual section (that's section 3, iykyk). it's a lil utility library that turns your data into base64url and back again. she's small, she's focused, she's iconic. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dnsjit.lib.base64url — a utility library to convert data to base64url format 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

local base64url = require("dnsjit.lib.base64url")

💅 encoding and decoding lua strings

local encoded = base64url.encode("abcd")
local decoded = base64url.decode(encoded)

🧚 encoding C byte arrays

local pl  -- pl is core.object.payload
local encoded = base64url.encode(pl.payload, pl.len)

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

literally just encode and decode data to and from base64url format. that's the whole vibe. no cap. ✨

🎀 Functions

• Base64Url.encode(data, data_len) — encodes a lua string or a C byte array into its base64url representation. and bestie, the input string is allowed to contain non-printable characters, she does not care, she handles it. 💪

data_len is the length of the input data. it's optional for lua strings but required for C byte arrays — so don't come for me when the C array path needs it, okay? 🙈

• Base64Url.decode(data) — decodes a base64url encoded lua string. heads up: the output string may contain non-printable characters too, so don't be gagged when you see them. 😭
