A base64url encoding/decoding library.

The Base64URL module provides for the encoding and decoding of binary data using a base64url representation.

base64url encoding is Base64 for URLs and filenames. base64url’s 62nd and 63rd chars are ‘-’ and ‘_’. base64url does not have pad chars ‘=’.

A simple encoding and decoding.

require "base64url"

enc   = Base64URL.encode('Send reinforcements')
                    # -> "U2VuZCByZWluZm9yY2VtZW50cw"
plain = Base64URL.decode(enc)
                    # -> "Send reinforcements"
