lib.rs

//! # Configs
//!
//! There isn't just one type of Base64; that would be too simple. You need to choose a character
//! set (standard, URL-safe, etc) and padding suffix (yes/no).
//! The `Config` struct encapsulates this info. There are some common configs included: `STANDARD`,
//! `URL_SAFE`, etc. You can also make your own `Config` if needed.
//!
//! The functions that don't have `config` in the name (e.g. `encode()` and `decode()`) use the
//! `STANDARD` config .
//!
//! The functions that write to a slice (the ones that end in `_slice`) are generally the fastest
//! because they don't need to resize anything. If it fits in your workflow and you care about
//! performance, keep using the same buffer (growing as need be) and use the `_slice` methods for
//! the best performance.
//!
//! # Encoding
//!
//! Several different encoding functions are available to you depending on your desire for
//! convenience vs performance.
//!
//! | Function                | Output                       | Allocates                      |
//! | ----------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
//! | `encode`                | Returns a new `String`       | Always                         |
//! | `encode_config`         | Returns a new `String`       | Always                         |
//! | `encode_config_buf`     | Appends to provided `String` | Only if `String` needs to grow |
//! | `encode_config_slice`   | Writes to provided `&[u8]`   | Never                          |
//!
//! All of the encoding functions that take a `Config` will pad as per the config.
//!
//! # Decoding
//!
//! Just as for encoding, there are different decoding functions available.
//!
//! | Function                | Output                        | Allocates                      |
//! | ----------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
//! | `decode`                | Returns a new `Vec<u8>`       | Always                         |
//! | `decode_config`         | Returns a new `Vec<u8>`       | Always                         |
//! | `decode_config_buf`     | Appends to provided `Vec<u8>` | Only if `Vec` needs to grow    |
//! | `decode_config_slice`   | Writes to provided `&[u8]`    | Never                          |
//!
//! Unlike encoding, where all possible input is valid, decoding can fail (see `DecodeError`).
//!
//! Input can be invalid because it has invalid characters or invalid padding. (No padding at all is
//! valid, but excess padding is not.) Whitespace in the input is invalid.
//!
//! # Panics
//!
//! If length calculations result in overflowing `usize`, a panic will result.
//!
//! The `_slice` flavors of encode or decode will panic if the provided output slice is too small,
