»base64encode Function

base64encode applies Base64 encoding to a string.

Nomad uses the "standard" Base64 alphabet as defined in RFC 4648 section 4.

Strings in the Nomad language are sequences of unicode characters rather than bytes, so this function will first encode the characters from the string as UTF-8, and then apply Base64 encoding to the result.

The Nomad language applies Unicode normalization to all strings, and so passing a string through base64decode and then base64encode may not yield the original result exactly.

»Examples

> base64encode("Hello World")
SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=

> base64encode("Hello World")SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=
