## Example

```lua
local base64 = require('luvit-base64')
local enc = base64.encode('hello')
local dec = base64.decode(enc)
assert(dec == 'hello')
```

## Build

Tested on Linux and OS X:

git clone [email protected]:kengonakajima/luvit-base64.git
cd luvit-base64
make
make test
```

## Benchmark

On Macbook Pro (core i5, 2.53GHz), it encode/decodes 200~300 times faster than [pure-lua base64](https://github.com/luvit/luvit/wiki/Snippets) on luvit(LuaJIT2).
