What is base64 encoding?

Some tools do not accept a full set of characters. There are also text file formats that do not have a way to escape easily all special characters. Some special characters are new lines, tabs, characters that are otherwise used for other purposes - &, % etc.

Example usages:

content of cookies
some url parameters - but often url encoding is used there
contents of some kubernetes objects
encoding binary content to store as text

And within every dewdrop

A world of struggle.
