Learn about different methods of encoding binary data in plain text, such as Base58, Base64, Base32, and more. Compare their efficiency, programming language implementations, and uses in various systems and protocols.
Base64 is a group of schemes that transforms binary data into a sequence of 64 printable characters. Learn the design, alphabet, examples, and variants of Base64, and how it is used for data transfer and web applications.
Ascii85, also called Base85, is a form of binary-to-text encoding that uses five ASCII characters to represent four bytes of data. It is more efficient than uuencode or Base64, and is used in PostScript, PDF and Git formats.
A binary number is a number expressed in the base-2 numeral system, using only two symbols: 0 and 1. Learn about the origins and applications of binary numbers in various cultures and fields, from ancient Egypt and China to modern computers and cryptography.
Learn the rules and conventions of writing JavaScript programs, such as case sensitivity, whitespace, semicolons, comments, variables, and scoping. See examples of JavaScript code and compare it with Java, Awk, and Perl.
Base36 is a way of representing binary data in an ASCII string format using the digits 0-9 and the letters A-Z. Learn how base36 works, how to convert between different bases, and which programming languages support it.
Binary code is a system of representing text, instructions or data using two symbols, usually 0 and 1. Learn about the origin of binary code, its applications in computing and telecommunications, and other forms of binary code such as Braille and bagua.
UTF-8 is a standard way of encoding Unicode characters using one to four bytes. It is widely used on the web and in modern operating systems, and compatible with ASCII. Learn how UTF-8 works, its history, and its advantages and disadvantages.
