Encoding and Decoding

EncodeToBase64 takes a plain string and returns its UTF-8 Base64 encoded representation. DecodeFromBase64 takes a Base64 string and decodes it to UTF-8 text - throws if the input is not valid Base64 or if the decoded bytes are not valid UTF-8. WithInput sets the Base64 string to work with as a fluent entry point - chain SaveTo or other methods after it. The static encode and decode methods can be called directly on GPAL.Base64 for one-step conversions.

Examples

GPAL Fluent: High-level fluent C# API

//EncodeToBase64 and DecodeFromBase64 are synchronous and return the result directly. Use the fluent WithInput pattern when you need to save decoded binary content to a file rather than get a string.

// Encode a string to Base64

string encoded = GPAL.Base64.EncodeToBase64("Hello, World!");

// Result: SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ==


// Decode a Base64 string

string decoded = GPAL.Base64.DecodeFromBase64("SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ==");

// Result: Hello, World!


// Fluent pattern: set input and save decoded bytes to file

GPAL.Base64

.WithInput(encodedFileData)

.SaveTo(GPAL.FileFor("C:\output\document.pdf"));
