# base64url

[![CRAN_Status_Badge](http://www.r-pkg.org/badges/version/base64url)](https://cran.r-project.org/package=base64url)

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/mllg/base64url.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/mllg/base64url)

[![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/5329u3dk9vanak0p/branch/master?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/mllg/base64url/branch/master)

[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/mllg/base64url/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/mllg/base64url?branch=master)

In contrast to base64 RFC3548, the 62nd character (`'+'`) is replaced with `'-'`, the 63rd character (`'/'`) is replaced with `'_'`.

Furthermore, the encoder does not fill the string with trailing `'='`.

The resulting encoded strings comply to the regular expression pattern `'[A-Za-z0-9_-]'` and thus are safe to use in URLs or for file names.

For a small benchmark, see the [vignette](https://cran.r-project.org/package=base64url/vignettes/Benchmarks.html).

As of version 1.1, this package also ships with a simple base32 encoder/decoder suited to mangle file names on case insensitive file systems.
