Mime

val Mime: Base64(source)

The encoding specified by RFC 2045 section 6.8, Base64 Content-Transfer-Encoding.

Uses "The Base64 Alphabet" as specified in Table 1 of RFC 2045 for encoding and decoding, consisting of 'A'..'Z', 'a'..'z', '+' and '/' characters.

This instance is configured with the padding option set to PaddingOption.PRESENT. Use the withPadding function to create a new instance with a different padding option if necessary.

Encode operation adds CRLF every 76 symbols. No line separator is added to the end of the encoded output. Decode operation ignores all line separators and other characters outside the base64 alphabet.

Since Kotlin

1.8

// Mime encoding ignores all characters not belonging to its alphabet
val decoded = Base64.Mime.decode("Y@{mFz!Z!TY}0")
